 Joe McCRACKEN (Western Victoria) (09:55): I also want to note the passing of two incredibly important Ballarat identities. Greg McIntosh was an outstanding human being and a tireless community advocate, husband of councillor and former mayor Samantha McIntosh. Greg lived a full life and wanted to be remembered just as a good bloke, and he most certainly was. ‘Humble’, ‘decent’, ‘kind’, ‘funny’, ‘considerate’ and ‘generous’ are all words that describe Greg.

Sue Gull was an amazing woman whose memory lives on through her family. Her husband Stewart, her children Shelley, Alastair and Cameron and their families are a testament to Sue’s kindness, love, care and her beautiful nature. Her memory lives on through their words and deeds and actions every single day. Both Sue and Greg are huge losses to the Ballarat community, and they will be greatly missed by all.
