Australia Day
Emma VULIN (Pakenham) (15:53): For me these have been some pretty great weeks. It was terrific to be able to formally welcome our newest Australian citizens on Australia Day and share a lamington. I was also very, very pleased, as I am sure others in this chamber would be, to hear that Neale Daniher AO is the Australian of the Year for 2025. The work that Neale and his family have done to undertake to raise awareness for MND has impacted my life in so many ways. Neale’s commitment, compassion and empathy mean so much to me and others diagnosed with MND.
