 Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:52): I would also like to take this opportunity to share brief remarks about a very wonderful man who sadly was taken away from us far too soon, and that is Stefan Romaniw, who was chair of the Federation of Ukrainian Associations across Australia. He was a remarkable man, one I got to meet on several occasions. He was a fierce advocate both for the Ukrainian Australian community and also for Ukraine in its time of struggle. He was taken from us far too soon, and I want to join others in extending my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. Slava Ukraini. Heroiam Slava.
