At an electoral office filled to the brim, a good crowd gathered to pay tribute and bid farewell to Ian McManus as our local State MP. Among the capacity crowd were many of the ALP faithful, wanting to acknowledge the contribution Ian has made to the local area in the 16 years that he was our elected representative. Others included members of the broader community, especially from the district, who were there to pay their respects to a hard working politician at the end of a proud career. Linda Bunclark
