Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland)—Congratulations to one of Maitland's newest recipients of a Queen's Birthday Honour, Kevin Short OAM, rounding out a long and broad standing contribution to our community. Kevin's long history of service and contribution to Maitland is exemplary in every way, from the many elections in which he fulfilled the role of Returning Officer to the commitment he has shown Maitland's Hockey community for over 60 years. Kevin has played an active role in ensuring Maitland's Hockey community has continued to thrive over the years, including playing a pivotal role in the construction of the Maitland hockey centre. Kevin's contribution to the Maitland and District Historical Society, Lodge Wallis Plains No. 4 Maitland Freemasons, the Anglican Church and many other organisations speak to his true character as someone who is always willing to be involved in and advocate for Maitland. I have had the pleasure of knowing Kevin for many years now and continue to be inspired by his dedication to our community, determination and resilience. The many ways in which he has displayed his commitment to building and serving our community over the years, make him truly deserving of this recognition.
