Celebrating Australian Values

Around the time of the bi-centennial I spotted an advertisement for an Australia Day speech contest. I thought "What would one talk about on such an occasion?"

I took notes of ideas and information.

I directed my reading into certain areas with the intention of finding out where Australia could be heading and what might be done to influence that direction. I attempted to find out what the lessons of history might teach us.

These findings I turned into a talk - "A Vision for Australia"

Based on the feedback from those talks I composed 'I choose Australia'.

This has been published in the form of a Greeting Card and a Diploma which have, amongst other events, been presented at New Citizenship Ceremonies, Harmony Days and to school children.
