 John PESUTTO (Hawthorn) (13:28): This week, in a celebration of Hawthorn’s great history, I take this opportunity to congratulate the Hawthorn Historical Society, particularly its president Penny Underwood and Elizabeth Love and Elizabeth Yewers, for curating the Women of Influence exhibition, which is being undertaken at the Camberwell Library. This outstanding display highlights the remarkable contributions of Hawthorn women in medicine, education, literature, art and music and recognises their lasting impact on our community. What a wonderful celebration of Hawthorn.
