 Steve DIMOPOULOS (Oakleigh – Minister for Environment, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, Minister for Outdoor Recreation) (10:33): George Haitidis is the unit controller of the VICSES Monash unit, and he was awarded an Emergency Services Medal in the emergency services category. George joined the VICSES in 2005, and by 2008 he was made section leader. He is extraordinary, as we know; he has been in that position for 18 years and he leads a dedicated team of extraordinary people. I want to congratulate George for that honour.
