Today I paid tribute to the amazing Lang Coppin for his 46-year-long service as a councillor for the Shire of East Pilbara. Lang was a strong leader for the northern part of the East Pilbara district for nearly half a century and I understand holds the title of longest current period of service of an elected member to any council, parliament or assembly in Australia. Congratulations Lang, I look forward to celebrating with you in Marble Bar early next month.
