Bruce Manintveld

Harriet SHING (Eastern Victoria – Minister for Housing, Minister for Water, Minister for Equality) (09:41): I rise today to pay tribute to Bruce Manintveld, who was killed in the storms that ripped through Victoria last week. Bruce and his wife Fiona were the hallmarks of community across regional Victoria in showcasing what could be done in farming best practice. He and Fiona were the lifeblood of Mirboo North’s farming community, showing people how it could be done to move to dairy farming operations that were successful, that returned a good investment to the industry and to the sector and that paved the way for young leaders to make their own mark in dairying.
