Mrs McARTHUR (Western Victoria) (09:54): I rise today to recognise the dignified life of highly respected Camperdown horseman Geoff Daffy who tragically passed away on 21 February. Geoff was a renowned and loved trainer of racehorses, notably training Gavel, Skipton Town, Shango’s Image, Superact and many other horses. Horseracing has always been an iconic part of western Victoria and country culture to which Geoff Daffy has contributed significantly. Beyond his racehorses, Geoff was a husband, a father of five, a successful businessman and a farmer. Geoff Daffy carries a famous name in Camperdown and beyond. He was a community figure of note, and his legacy will be remembered. I honour his contribution to our community in that area, and I extend my deepest sympathies to his wife, Denise, and his children, Anne, Peter, John, Kevin and Maree. Vale, Geoff Daffy.
