Mr  J. BULL (Sunbury) — Not all superheroes wear capes; some wear bright orange. I was lucky enough to meet with some local heroes of the community when I dropped by the Sunbury State Emergency Service (SES) unit last week.

This year marks the 40th year of dedicated service from the Sunbury SES, and it is only fitting that as a birthday gift the Andrews Labor government has recently provided them with $100 000 to upgrade facilities and purchase new equipment.

I chatted with Anthony White, the unit controller, about their plans for dealing with a growing Sunbury and the hard work of the volunteers over the past 40 years.

If you come across a member of Sunbury SES in your travels, take the time to thank them for the great work they do, and also thank SES volunteers right across the state.
