John Hoban

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (20:35:31):

I recognise an incredibly selfless member of my local community, Mr John Hoban. Throughout his life, John has dedicated himself to serving his community, the State and the country. Beginning his professional life working as a career army officer, John served in both Papua New Guinea and Vietnam. Subsequently, he worked as a training system adviser at various army schools, collaborating with infantry, artillery, signals and intelligence. Continuing his spirit of service, John also served the community in his role with NSW Fire Brigades, where he held the position of senior admin. Even after his retirement, John has been actively involved with the Royal Humane Society, the TPI Association and the Penshurst RSL Club, where he has proudly served as president since 2016. Community heroes like John are the backbone of the St George community, ensuring it is one of the best places in the State to live, work and raise a family. I commend the work of locals like John, who inspire us to engage with our community. I thank John for his service and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.
