Australia Day awards

 James NEWBURY (Brighton) (09:45): The bayside community has seen a number of incredibly deserving recipients of an Australia Day honour. Among them, I want to acknowledge Cathy Freeman for her service to athletics and young people and as an Australian ambassador, and my friends also Vic Buccheri for his lifelong service to the Italian community and Tony Cipriano for his service to youth through scouting.
