Mr NORTHE (Morwell) — I rise today to acknowledge local recipients of the recent Community Hero awards. Firstly, a big well done to Traralgon 11-year-old boys Tom Said and Charlie Lockwood, who helped save young Daniel Carstein after they noticed him on the bottom of the Traralgon swimming pool. With the support of others thankfully Daniel was able to have a reasonably quick recovery. It was an amazing effort by Tom and Charlie, and their families should be proud. I wish Mark and Tanya Carstein and their children, Matthew, Caitlyn and of course Daniel, all the very best in dealing with what was a traumatic experience. The Australian Paper Mill’s emergency response team at Maryvale was recognised for saving the life of David Brown, who collapsed at work in August of this year. Well done to Stewart Henley, Andrea Notting and Chris Winnell, who played a major role in responding to this emergency, and I also wish David all the very best in his recovery.
