I want to speak about the wonderful Queens's Birthday Honours recipients in my electorate of Dunkley. Last year, I spoke about the wonderful recipients who received the award, and there were many wonderful recipients again this year. They include Mr Robert William Kilby of Frankston, for his service to youth with a disability through education initiatives, and Pauline Nelly McLaughlin from Frankston South for her service to community health, in particular, palliative care. I know she does have an interest in our commitment previously of $536,000 towards the home-based palliative care offered through Mornington. Mrs Cheryl Lynne Myers is another recipient in Frankston. She has been honoured for her service to veterans and their families. She is a key person who has put a significant amount of effort in four veterans locally. I've got to know Cheryl quite well over a number of years in working with her to help veterans. She is an inspiration, as are the other recipients. I'm very proud to talk about them today and I look forward to working with these recipients and future recipients of the Queen's Birthday Honours awards into the future.
