JOY 94.9

Ms PATTEN — I would also like to congratulate radio station JOY 94.9 on their 24th year on air. I was pleased to attend their annual general meeting. I would also like to congratulate the 200 volunteers that make this wonderful resource for the LGBTI community possible, as well as outgoing president Jed Gilbert; David McCarthy, for being awarded the coveted award of life membership for his dedication and 12 years on air; Matt McDonnell for the Addam Stobbs broadcasting excellence award on his program coverage of the Orlando massacre; and Josh Pearson, the winner of the Anne Hamilton award for tireless volunteering. May I also congratulate Anne Hamilton herself for her volunteer work in the HIV/AIDS and LGBTI sector, both here and in Canberra, over 25 years.
