I rise today to congratulate the members of my community who were recognised on the Queen's Birthday honours list. Eleven local people have received recognition as part of the 2020 list to acknowledge and celebrate their contributions to our community and Australia. I know there are so many amazing local people who are worthy of recognition for what they do every day to help and support others. I am proud to see so many receiving this prestigious honour. I would like to congratulate: Bernard Basevi OAM from Malua Bay, James Doak OAM from Berry, Rae Doak OAM from Berry, Christine Dunstan OAM from Berry, Bevin Hardy OAM from North Nowra, Gregory Malavey OAM from Moruya and Bruce Murphy OAM from Bomaderry, who all received the Medal of Order of Australia—General or Civilian Division.

Congratulations to Chief Inspector John Klepczarek APM from Jamberoo who received the Australian Police Medal, and Glenn Sullivan ESM from East Lynne who received the Emergency Services Medal. And congratulations to Warrant Officer Stephen Cheeseman OAM from Bomaderry, who received the Medal of the Order of Australia Military Division; and Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Warner CSM DSM from Broughton Vale, who received the Conspicuous Service Medal.

Congratulations to our local recipients and thank you for everything you do for our community.
