 Joe McCRACKEN (Western Victoria) (09:47): I would like to acknowledge some local mayors that have been re-elected recently: Cr Tracey Hargreaves from Ballarat, Cr Damian Ferrari of Pyrenees shire, Cr Steve Venditti-Taylor of the Moorabool shire, Cr Owen Sharkey from the Golden Plains shire, Cr Bob Sanders from Ararat shire, Cr Karen Hyslop from the Northern Grampians shire and Cr Lara Carli from the Melton shire. I know all these local mayors do an amazing job. They work so hard in the community, and I congratulate them on their new terms and wish them all the best for the next term and the year ahead.
