Tribute to Matthew Petch, Kalamunda teacher and firefighter, for his service and advocacy.
A member honours Matthew Petch's life, service, and advocacy for presumptive cancer laws.
“When I visited him in hospital in the final days of his life, the first thing he did was to apologise, not for being ill, but for not having the energy to continue advocating for changes to presumptive cancer laws to help fellow firefighters.”
