MARK Coulton is without doubt the hardest-working and dedicated local MP I have ever had the pleasure of working with or come across.
I congratulate Mark on his 16-plus years serving the communities of the Parkes electorate. He has set the benchmark for commitment and duty to a vast and diverse rural electorate, covering tens of thousands of kilometres by road each year to ensure every community – large, small and remote – has access to their local Member of Parliament.
Together with wife Robyn, Mark will leave behind an enviable record of achievement and service, vigorously speaking up and speaking out in Canberra on behalf of the people of rural and regional Australia, especially those who often feel they do not have a voice at all.
I thank Mark for his selfless dedication to the community. It has been a pleasure to work alongside him. He is deeply respected and will be genuinely missed by his electorate.
Congratulations on a stellar career Mark and all the very best for your future with Robyn and your family in the next chapter of your life.
