VLGA President’s Message
I wanted to take this opportunity to send a special edition eNews today, congratulating several VLGA members and friends on their receipt of Australia Day Honours late last week.
Whitehorse City Cr Robert Chong has been awarded an Australia Day AM (Member of the Order of Australia) for his contribution to the Chinese community of Victoria, the Whitehorse City Council and the Whitehorse community. Cr Chong has received other honours – in 1991 he was named in the Australia Day Honours List and in 2003 he received a Centenary Medal. Congratulations Robert!
The City of Kingston’s Cr Ron Brownlees was awarded an OAM in the General Division (Order of Australia Medal) for his service to local government and a wide range of community groups and health care organisations. Well done Ron!
Pat Walsh, who has been a strong advocate for human rights especially in Timor-Leste, and served the international community in this regard across the Asia-Pacific region has also been awarded an AM (Member of the Order of Australia) in the General Division. Thanks for your work Pat.
All the best to each of you at this special time.
Cr Samantha Dunn, President
