 Harriet SHING (Eastern Victoria – Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop, Minister for Housing and Building, Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts) (10:02): I want to congratulate all recipients of Australia Day awards across the Eastern Victoria Region. The sorts of contributions that have been made to communities in often very quiet, unassuming ways have an opportunity to be recognised and to be celebrated, and what we have seen is a really wonderful and diverse offering of people who have been recognised, everything from the Rotarians and the work that they do in Moe right through to the collection of support for people in need from the Dandenong Ranges right out through to East Gippsland. We know that there are so many people making such a profound difference, and that should never go unsaid.
