What a wonderful night at the town hall last night (#humanrights). The four Australians of the Year – all highly articulate and passionate. Rosie Batty is just amazing in her authenticity. She brings tears to my eyes every time she speaks. Jackie French – so free and forthright and yes I smile when I think of wombats too! Drisana Levitzke-Gray who so eloquently raised our awareness of deafness. Juliette Wright – how two bags of baby clothes was the foundation for GIVIT.
Annabel Crabb – facilitating the conversation. She is so fabulous and what a great sense of humour – what a fabulous asset for ABC. You should have heard the applause for Gillian Triggs – Tony must be aghast! Now that is a women with integrity. And then closing by Liz Broderick who has brought so much value to her position.
All in all a fabulous event! Let’s hope there are no “Captain’s Calls” in 2016 when the new winners are announced.
