Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields—Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology, Minister for Building, and Minister for Corrections)—I pay tribute to my dear friend and much-loved community member, Mr Barry Schuberg. Barry passed away recently after a battle with oesophageal cancer. A self-confessed cricket tragic, Barry was fondly known as the 'scoreboard man'. Barry proudly scored his 100th game for Fairfield Liverpool Lions at Rosedale Oval in 2021. Barry turned the numbers of the 'old' scoreboard, and then keenly learnt to use an electronic scoreboard. Barry cherished his role on the scoreboard and supported the Lions' top grade and youth sides. I had the privilege of knowing Barry through Break the Cycle Glenquarie, where he would tend the centre's vegetable garden. Barry's vegetables would end up on the plates of those less fortunate who dropped by Break the Cycle for a bite to eat. Barry was a generous and kind soul. Despite his own health battles, Barry's latter days were filled with helping others as he had all through his life. Always with a story to tell and an infectious smile, Barry will be greatly missed. When all is said and done, Barry would say he had a good innings. Rest in peace.
