House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Grievance Debate Queen's Birthday Honours Queen's Birthday Honours Mr CREGAN House of Assembly Kavel Mr CREGAN (Kavel) (15:21): National and civic honours help define, encourage and reinforce our aspirations and ideals. It has also been said that the more our individual honours reflect who we are, the more enriched we are collectively. Awards of this type also allow an opportunity for all in our community to extend our thanks and gratitude. I was pleased to learn that a number of residents from throughout Kavel and the Adelaide Hills were recognised in the 2019 Queen's Birthday Honours. I wish to record, for the benefit of all members, the achievements of those individuals today. Five residents from across the Hills were made a Member of the Order of Australia, including: Mr Deane Edgecombe of Aldgate, for significant service to Australia-Indonesia relations and the South Australian community; Ms Margaret Fischer of Hahndorf, for significant service to the performing arts sector, to the LGBTIQ community and to the Jewish community in South Australia; Mr Marcus La Vincente of Stirling, for significant service to the not-for-profit sector, particularly by supporting much-needed and wider access to justice; Dr John Litt of Aldgate, for significant service to preventative medicine as an influenza specialist and as a general practitioner; and the Hon. Terence Worthington QC of Crafers, for significant service to the law and the judiciary as a judge and then Chief Judge of the District Court of South Australia. In addition, a further six residents received a Medal of the Order of Australia, including: the late Mr Guy Bowering of Lenswood, for service to veterans and their families; Mr Trevor Corbell of Nairne, for his active involvement in the Nairne and wider district community. Mr Corbell was a Mount Barker district councillor, a member of the Nairne and District Residents Association and provided extensive service to Diabetes Australia; Mr Leon Eddy of Charleston, for service to veterans and their families, in particular through the Totally and Permanently Incapacitated Ex-Service Men and Women's Association of South Australia; Mr Brian Edwards of Strathalbyn, for service to Surf Life Saving SA and the Port Elliot Surf Life Saving Club; Mr Brian Haddy of Nairne, for service to science education as the event director of Science Alive!, as well as for service to the Heart Foundation and our wider community; and Mr Austin Taylor of Aldgate, for service to education and community health. Finally, I wish to acknowledge Ms Alexandra Reid of Mylor, who received a Public Service Medal for outstanding public service to the arts, culture and education, particularly through the delivery of significant improvements to TAFE SA. My community believes in the value of service to others. That service is given without the expectation of recognition. I record in this place my gratitude and the gratitude of my community for the work undertaken by the men and women I have mentioned in this place.
