Another Linker has been recognized: Mr Jamie Parker MP, Member of the NSW Legislative Assembly for Balmain, rose to his feet at 1.20 pm on 14 October 2015 to make a "Tribute to Marghanita da Cruz":
"I bring to the attention of the House a member of my local community, Marghanita da Cruz. In 1998 Marghanita began an online anecdotal history of Annandale, bringing to life the rich history of Sydney's inner west for a global readership. In 2009 Marghanita established the annual Eco-Annandale exhibition, which she continues to curate and which brings together work by local photographers, artists and scientists on the theme of environmental sustainability. Marghanita is an active member of her local precinct committee and Leichhardt Municipal Council's Heritage Committee. Recognising the community's interest in Annandale's history and heritage, Marghanita is championing the Annandale Heritage Festival to complement the Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church's National Trust Fund annual open day. As part of the festival, Marghanita guides historical walks. Marghanita played a key part in the recent naming of Douglas Grant Memorial Park. I thank Marghanita for her online and offline activities that help to strengthen our community. Congratulations to a stalwart of the local community." * Hansard: https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/prod/parlment/hansart.nsf/V3Key/LA20151014014 * Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KN0Su5Stc-k * Annandale on the Web: http://www.ramin.com.au/annandale/ -- Tom Worthington FACS CP, TomW Communications Pty Ltd. t: 0419496150 The Higher Education Whisperer http://blog.highereducationwhisperer.com/ PO Box 13, Belconnen ACT 2617, Australia http://www.tomw.net.au Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Research School of Computer Science, Australian National University http://cs.anu.edu.au/courses/COMP7310/ _______________________________________________ Link mailing list Link@mailman.anu.edu.au http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
