Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland)—I would like to congratulate Michael Habgood on being awarded the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) National Medal. He joined the Bishops Bridge Brigade in 1996 and transferred to Lochinvar in 2015, being an active member of both ever since. Michael has attended numerous incidents during his time with the NSW RFS, not only bushfires but also MVAs and assisted with flood works and on the AF assessment weekends. Over the years, he's helped the brigade in many fundraising events, such as the Lovedale Long Lunch, community engagement activities at Heritage Park and several others. Michael regularly assists the brigade with training and maintenance days. He is a well-respected member of the NSW RFS, especially within his own brigade where his on-the-job knowledge is second to none, making him a worthy recipient of such an honour. Congratulations Michael, this honour is well-deserved.
