Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (13:06): I want to remind the house of the incredible job our firefighters and the CFA do, not only for regional Victoria but for the whole of Australia. Today, CFA district 18 has several members returning to the Sunraysia region after they joined district 20 in strike team 9901, fighting the fires in Far North Queensland. On behalf of our community, I would like to recognise and thank Katrina, Dave, Austin, Maddie, Tony and Wayne for not only being CFA members but putting their hands up for strike force deployment. To all firefighters, thank you for your service. The CFA is the backbone of rural communities, especially coming into fire season and now that harvest is starting, and I sincerely want to say thank you.
