By some consensus it has been declared that The Day the Handle Died (TDTHD) April 23 will be a forum remembrance day for former fourmers who have donned their final PPE and reached the Great Lab.

All in favour?

Sounds good to me…

Aight.

DA has the list somewhere…

Looks like that’s what we want, so OK.

Isn’t that Boris’s birthday too?

Turns out it also coincides with the Feast of Saint George…

Is this proper procedure? Don’t we need a seconder for the motion and then put it to the vote? The count the Ayes and Nays?

Dr Michele Cotton was posthumously awarded the Order of Australia Medal (AM) for significant service to veterinary science, education, and professional organisations. The achievements of Dr Cotton, who passed away in January of this year, can barely be summarised within a single press release.
