(b) recognises Her Majesty for the strong sense of duty and grace she has shown during her reign as the longest serving Queen of the United Kingdom, Queen of Australia, and Head of the Commonwealth realm; and

(c) acknowledges:

  (i) Her Majesty's unwavering commitment to execute her duties in the service of the Commonwealth; and

  (ii) Her Majesty's representative, His Excellency General the Hon. David Hurley AC DSC, and the other 26 former Governors-General, who have dutifully executed their constitutional and ceremonial duties in the service of Australia and its people.
