ANZAC Day is a timely reminder of the way previous generations of Australians responded in times of great hardship – with courage, steely fortitude, and a spirit of sacrifice, service and mateship. While our present situation is a far cry from the battlefield, this year, let us honour our servicemen and women past and present by demonstrating that same irrepressible Australian spirit in the face of adversity.
To all who have served, and continue to serve, my sincere thanks. Lest we forget.
