 Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (10:18): Doug Zerbe was a great Liberal. Inspired by Robert Menzies, Doug joined the party as a Young Liberal at its inception. In an early role he was Robert Menzies’s branch secretary in Doncaster. Doug remained staunchly dedicated to the party, and he was an active volunteer for the next 78 years. He passed away peacefully two months shy of his 100th birthday on the weekend. He will be fondly remembered by many in the Liberal Party. Condolences to his wife of 70 years Patricia and children Catherine, Richard, Andrew and Susan.
