 John BERGER (Southern Metropolitan) (09:55): I have three separate matters to raise. First, on Sunday I had the honour to join the Minister for Veterans Minister Suleyman at Mr Allan Trinca’s 100th birthday celebration. Mr Trinca is a World War II veteran and Hawthorn RSL member. Born on 20 July 1924, he was educated at Melbourne Grammar School and served as an armourer and fitter in the RAAF in New Guinea and North Borneo. He went on to lead a fulfilling life as an anaesthesiologist, deeply connected to his community. It was an honour to meet Mr Trinca, and I know that the chamber will join me in honouring his service.
