Australia Day
Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:52): On 26 January we had the opportunity to celebrate Australia Day. Some did and some did not; I did. But on Sunday 28 January I had the great privilege at the invitation of the Australia Day Council (Victoria) of laying a wreath at the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance to remember those who lost their lives for our democracy and our freedoms. This is an important thing for us to continue to do. Lest we forget.
