Mr FALINSKI (Mackellar) (13:31): And here I thought I was the only person with problems with mayors! Today I rise to acknowledge the work and achievements of Deborah Carter, the 2017 Pittwater Woman of the Year. Deborah has served the community of Mackellar with distinction over a number of years through her involvement in the Pittwater RSL Sub-Branch. In 2015 Deborah was elected as president of the Pittwater RSL Sub-Branch, and she is the first female to hold this position. She is currently the honorary welfare and membership officer at the Pittwater RSL, while also holding the position of vice-president of the Northern Beaches district sub-branch. Deborah has also worked as a nurse for a number of years at Manly and Mona Vale hospitals in areas such as cardiac stress testing, rehabilitation and patient education. This role included working as an educator at Manly Waters up until October 2016. Prior to her civilian nursing career, Deborah had a career in the Air Force, joining as a nursing officer in 1986 before being discharged in 1993. Since August 2015 she has been involved with the new Veterans Centre Sydney Northern Beaches at Dee Why RSL, advising on support services for veterans in our local community. I'm proud to represent an electorate that has hardworking individuals such as Deborah, and I congratulate her on her success. Thank you.
