The King’s Birthday Honours List recognise Australians whose service, leadership and dedication have made a lasting impact across our communities.

Mr Funnell (pictured on the right) has been recognised for service to local government and to the Camden community and Mrs Rappo has been recognised for service to community health through bereavement support.
Congratulations on this achievement and thank you to all for your commitment to making a difference in our community.

To read Richard Scolyer’s “final farewell” letter is to recognise that our nation has lost a truly great and gracious Australian.
In that goodbye, Professor Scolyer said that “cancer does not define us.” Yet Professor Scolyer’s more than three decades of work has defined cancer research and treatment – inroads that ultimately will help humanity defeat this dreadful disease.
Professor Scolyer will be remembered for his breakthroughs in melanoma treatment, including immunotherapy, and being the first patient to receive brain cancer treatment based on what he helped develop. Among his many achievements was his nurturing of young doctors and researchers who will carry on his work.
If Professor Scolyer was driven by a responsibility to try and “change the future for others and leave the world a better place”, he did just that. He was brave, bold and challenged the status quo. He was an Australian of the Year, yet Australians will honour him for all the years to come.
Our heartfelt thoughts are with Richard’s wife Katie, his children Emily, Matthew and Lucy, his wider family, his colleagues in medicine, and all those whose lives he changed for the better.
May Richard Scolyer rest in peace.

Dreams. Hard work. Aspiration. People who put their money, time and energy on the line every day.
Small businesses in our community are struggling because Labor is treating them like an ATM and taxing aspiration.
If you put a tax on aspiration and hard work, you’re going to get less aspiration and hard work.
I know aspiration and hard work is the fuel that powers our country, and we need more of it, not less.
Thank you to everyone who turned out in Camden to share their views on Labor’s taxes on small business. I will fight like hell to axe these toxic taxes.

Labor turned their back on bigger and better tax cuts. Australians deserve better.

51,000 non-citizens now have access to Labor’s 5% first home deposit scheme. During a housing supply crisis, that’s fuelling demand. That’s a problem.

Labor is in denial about its economic mismanagement and Australia`s falling living standards.

Under Labor, Australia has experienced the largest decline in living standards in the developed world.

Your pay.
Your savings.
Your investments.
Labor sees it all the same way: theirs.
