WHITEHORSE: MP’s tribute to Tristan Ewins
The 51-year-old life of Dr Tristan Ewins (pictured), has been saluted by Box Hill MLA Paul Hamer.
“I rise to mourn the sudden passing of Dr Tristan Ewins, a muchloved member of the Box Hill ALP branch for over 30 years,” Mr Hamer told State Parliament.
“Tristan was a freelance writer, PhD graduate, qualified teacher, blogger, social commentator and big-picture thinker.
“His contributions to the branch meetings were always heartfelt and meaningful. He always sought out a carefully onsidered path that would lead to a more equitable and just society. “As recently as at the February branch meeting, Tristan moved a motion calling on the Federal Government to massively expand the Housing Australia Future Fund as a means of increasing access to public housing and generally
increasing housing supply.
“While steadfast in his principles, he always valued the input of others and sincerely believed that in the long run the best opinions are formed through understanding all points of view.
“Tristan was a kind and generous person who gave up much of his time to participate in branch
events and help out during election campaigns, and he will be greatly missed. Vale, Tristan,” Mr Hamer said.
