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) — Congratulations to 2024 Local Woman of the Year, Jenny Woolfe, on being recognised for her tireless volunteer work in the community. A long-time Macquarie Fields resident, Jenny has been a Friend of Ingleburn Rotary Club since 1996 and actively involved in many of the organisation's programs. In 2022, Jenny was awarded the Paul Harris Fellow in recognition of support for Rotary programs and ideals for more than 25 years. In addition to her Rotary contributions, Jenny has volunteered with the Growing Friends Program at The Australian Botanic Garden in Mount Annan since 2022. The program involves propagating native plants for sale to the public through the Garden's shop to provide funds directly for Garden projects. Jenny's long education career has included secondary school teacher, head teacher and Deputy Principal at four high schools in the Macarthur area. Jenny continues to be a casual teacher at a local high school. Jenny was also a volunteer Independent Education Advisor with the Gallipoli Scholarship program. Jenny is a very deserving Local Woman of the Year. I commend her valuable contributions to our community.
