Parliamentary Procedure

Visitors

The SPEAKER: Before I call the member for Stuart, I would like to welcome to parliament today—if the member could just sit down for a little while, because the people I want to talk about are right behind you, member for Stuart—two great South Australians, Vince and Helen Monterola. They are the guests today of the member for Heysen. Congratulations, firstly, on your 60 years of marriage.

Many people in here will know the great work that Vince did as the chief of the Country Fire Service in South Australia, then as the architect of SAFECOM and the first leader of SAFECOM. My period of time when I worked closely with Vince was in Port Lincoln after the Wangary fires of 2005, where you put your life on hold and went over there and got the people of Eyre Peninsula back on their feet. We owe you a great deal of debt for that. Vince is also the patron of the CFS Foundation. He is an AM and one of those truly great South Australians—a selfless contribution to our state—and it is great to have you both here today.
