Ms DUNN (Eastern Metropolitan) — I rise today to pay tribute to Greens member Alex McCallum, who suddenly died a couple of weeks ago. Alex lived in North Warrandyte and was a committed member of the Nillumbik branch of the Greens. In fact he was a member for so long that that branch has also been known as the St Andrews and District and Nillumbik North branch. He was a passionate bike rider for all that time and was passionate about the A Metre Matters campaign, amongst a whole range of other campaigns. He was always going that extra mile for the Greens and was deeply committed to progressing Greens values. In fact he was so committed to the A Metre Matters campaign that his family insisted that in lieu of flowers donations be provided to the Amy Gillett Foundation, which of course has been instrumental in advocating for A Metre Matters laws in this state. I pay tribute to Alex and his contribution to the Greens and express our deepest sympathies to his family and friends.
