 Jeff BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) (10:28): It feels like I have been doing this every single member’s statement lately. Today, with great sadness, I speak to honour the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (Victoria) immediate past president Denis Moroney, who passed away on Friday 22 November this year. Denis served on the SSAA board of management for 12 years and as the association’s president between 2014 and 2022. Denis also served as the SSAA national junior vice-president, an SSAA national finance subcommittee member and a director of the SSAA insurance brokerage. Under Denis’s leadership SSAA Victoria achieved many significant accomplishments and milestones. Denis was most proud of the purchase of the Springvale range during his time as president and the achievement of financial stability for SSAA Victoria. As a member of the association, I am indebted to Denis for his considered, stable leadership and for his significant contribution over a long period of time.
