Amanda Lamont

Ms BURNETT-WAKE (Eastern Victoria) (10:16): Today I would like to congratulate Amanda Lamont, who was yesterday presented with a National Emergency Medal by the Governor-General of the commonwealth for her volunteer work with the Australian Red Cross during the 2019–20 bushfires. I first met Amanda through my work as a councillor on the Yarra Ranges council, and I witnessed firsthand her wonderful work in the emergency service sector, in which she has had a long and commendable career. Amanda is a Montrose local and dedicated member of the Montrose fire brigade. Amanda has a great passion for assisting her community. She is a compassionate and caring individual who is a true community leader. I would like to thank and acknowledge Amanda for her contribution. It is people like Amanda, with her dedication to voluntary work, particularly as a CFA member, that make our community surely great.
