 John LISTER (Werribee) (13:27): A few weeks ago it was my honour to attend the Werribee fire brigade annual dinner marking the 110th anniversary of the brigade’s establishment. It was a little bit different attending this year as a ‘dignitary’, and on behalf of the Wyndham community it was an honour to recognise their service to us all. For the sake of posterity, I would like to recognise award recipients Danny, Jeremy, Matthew Packer, Vito, Vilma, Adam, Dom, Malcolm, Belinda, Michael, Matt Mannix, Damien, Brett, Lino, John and Darryl. I would also like to recognise Robert Mummery, who received his 50 years of service. Congratulations to Emily Goegan for receiving the Pengelly Award for non-operational members, and to the newly minted firefighter of the year Trent Bartels – welcome to the club.
