Ms JODIE HARRISON (Charlestown—Minister for Women, Minister for Seniors, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault)—I'm pleased to recognise the extraordinary efforts of Jed Dickson from Charlestown Cricket Club whose quick thinking and action saved the life of one of own of his players, eighteen-year-old Kade Sutton. During a warm-up jog at training Kade suffered a heart attack and collapsed in a seizure-like fit, and he was actually clinically dead for a period of five minutes but survived to tell the tale because Jed performed CPR on him until paramedics arrived. As luck would have it, Jed had just completed a CPR refresher course for his job in the disability sector a fortnight before, and so knew exactly how to respond he Kade collapsed. Jed saved Kade's life, and as is typical of the Australian character has downplayed his heroic efforts and focused on all who provided assistance on the day to Kade. But given what he did is literally life-saving, I'm pleased today to be able to recognise and pay tribute to Jed in the Parliament of New South Wales, and wish him and Kade all the best for the coming season.
