 Steve DIMOPOULOS (Oakleigh – Minister for Environment, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, Minister for Outdoor Recreation) (09:45): Lastly, I had the enormous pleasure of visiting Lorna Paterson, nee Easton, who lives in Hughesdale. She grew up in Oakleigh, born at the Oakleigh hospital, went to Oakleigh Primary School. Her dad had a bakery in Oakleigh. Her granddad was a fire officer in Oakleigh. She still lives in Oakleigh – she lives in the same street that I grew up in. Happy 100th birthday, Lorna Patterson. You are an amazing icon for the area.
