This is a day about remembrance, deference and thankfulness. It is about who we are now; the values we live by and hold dearest; and what we collectively hope and strive to be.

I have learnt how lucky I am to live in this country.

To observe that unique Australianness we are so proud to call our own, those qualities that make us who we are – courage, toughness, compassion.
