Mr J. BULL (Sunbury) (09:58:29) — I wish to congratulate and acknowledge a local teacher and a Country Fire Authority officer (CFA) who demonstrated exceptional leadership and bravery in saving the life of cyclist Kevin Law, who went into cardiac arrest in a local Sunbury park. Greg Purcell and Tony Smith have been recognised as community heroes by Ambulance Victoria (AV) after they performed life-saving CPR with the assistance of AV. I would like to take this opportunity to personally congratulate paramedic Elise Paton as well as Greg and Tony for their outstanding work on this occasion and for their ongoing commitment to our community as a teacher and a CFA station officer. Greg and Tony, it is people like you that keep our community safe, caring and compassionate.
