Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (13:56): On another matter, and a sad one, I want to quickly acknowledge the sad news of the death of Inga Peulich, a colleague who when I first came to this place provided me with support and advice. She was a fierce advocate for the community she represented, first as the member for Bentleigh from 1992 to 2002 and then as a member for South-Eastern Metropolitan Region from 2006 to 2018. Inga’s story is a great one that she would often reference. As a young girl, her family fled communist Yugoslavia following her father being blacklisted from working as a journalist for uncovering and reporting on state corruption. She knew what corruption would do to a state. Inga was a great Liberal who will be sadly missed by her family and friends.
