 Mary-Anne THOMAS (Macedon – Leader of the House, Minister for Health, Minister for Ambulance Services) (09:45): Half a century ago a group of Gisborne locals recognised the urgent need for an ambulance branch in their town, and at the heart of this story is Patricia Kaye, one of the founding members and still serving as treasurer today. It was a great honour to be able to join Trish, the CEO of Ambulance Victoria Jordan Emery and local paramedics to celebrate her great contribution. She was presented with flowers and a certificate of appreciation. On behalf of the community of Macedon, I thank the Gisborne ambulance auxiliary and especially Patricia for 50 years of extraordinary service to our community.
