Violet Town’s first female councillor Pam Robinson honoured with Governor-General’s Medallion

The Governor-General’s Medallion is an official commemorative token presented as a gift to recognise outstanding community service.

Pam is a life member of the Australian Local Government Women’s Association and its longest serving member, having maintained membership since 1979.

Following the formal proceedings at ALWA’s 75th Anniversary event at Government House, Ms Mostyn, surprised guests with an additional agenda item when she presented Pam with the medallion.

“I had no knowledge of such a medallion nor what was going to happen,” Pam said.

“I was completely surprised by the presentation and with the genuine warmth conveyed to me by the Governor-General.”
