Victoria won, my colleague will be happy to know!

I again recognise the contribution of the award recipients from Boothby for their tireless work, unrivalled commitment and personal dedication over many years. Perhaps the Prime Minister summarised their efforts best in his address to the 2018 Australian of the Year Award ceremony when he said:

Our Australian of the Year State and Territory recipients are shining examples of our best selves. All of them are outstanding and brilliant achievers and driven to succeed by a determination to help their fellow Australians and make Australia an even, better, brighter place to realise your dreams.

Whether through science or philanthropy, medicine or mentoring, their lives have made our lives better. And they are as diverse as the nation they represent.

Congratulations again to the newest members of the Order of Australia from my electorate of Boothby. I thank them on behalf of my community for the incredible, tireless service that they have provided to us in my electorate, to South Australia and also to the nation.
