I recognise the achievements of outgoing RSL NSW President and my constituent Ray James, OAM. Ray was elected to the presidency in December 2020 in the RSL's first one-member one-vote election in its history. During his term, Ray steered RSL NSW through challenging and rewarding times. A Vietnam War veteran, Ray delivered an apology to those who served in Vietnam for their rejection by the league upon their return to Australia. He also presided over the first increase in membership in 40 years. I thank Ray for his service during and before his presidency, and I know his commitment to veterans will continue well into the future. I thank both Ray and his wife, Pauline, for their ongoing support of the RSL, veterans and their families in New South Wales. I count myself lucky to represent two such outstanding individuals in this place. I wish Ray and Pauline all the best in the future and congratulate new president Mick Bainbridge on his election.
