00:19 and the difference they make.
00:21 On behalf of all Australians, I thank recipients for their service and congratulate them on
00:26 their recognition.
00:28 The Honours and Awards system belongs to all Australians, and by nominating people for

00:38 I have been steadfast that the Order must reflect the diversity of our community.
