00:00 I would like to congratulate the outstanding Australians recognised in today's Honours
00:05 list.
00:06 The calibre of the recipients reflects the strength of our communities.
00:10 Read or watch their stories and you can't help but be optimistic about Australia.
00:16 I'm delighted that this list again increasingly reflects the diversity of our community.
00:22 Recipients come from all parts of the country.
00:24 They have served and have an impact in just about every field you can imagine.
00:28 Their stories and backgrounds are diverse.
00:32 They are inspirational.
00:35 Our national honours system, the Order of Australia, must reflect who we are.
00:40 Therefore, to all Australians, our honours system belongs to all of us.
00:46 We can all nominate someone we admire and respect for recognition.
00:50 Please consider doing so.
00:52 To all recipients, I hear the statements like "I don't do this for recognition" or "to
00:57 get a medal" all the time.
01:00 I know that you, too, may wish to deflect attention or brush off praise.
01:04 Well, today your country has decided that you deserve recognition and are to be celebrated.
01:11 Please enjoy the moment and know that you have the thanks and respect of your nation.
01:16 Congratulations.
