Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—I am very pleased to recognise Jill Stuart of Kahibah, who was recently awarded not only the Hunter Senior Volunteer of the Year but also the Hunter Volunteer of the Year Award. This is a very significant and much deserved recognition for Jill who has been a passionate advocate for and made a truly extraordinary contribution to the Cerebral Palsy Alliance for 60 years. The Stuart Centre in Croudace Bay, named after Jill for her advocacy and fundraising efforts, is now the Cerebral Palsy Alliance's longest running therapy centre. For over four decades, this Centre has made the world of difference for people in the Hunter region with cerebral palsy and their families. Jill's unwavering dedication has had a lasting impact on countless lives, and these awards highlight the incredible importance of volunteers in our communities. Jill's work is a testament to the difference one person can make. So, Jill, on behalf of the people of Charlestown, I thank you for your tireless work and advocacy over many decades for this cause. Our community is a better place because of generous and caring people such as yourself.
