Remembering As One

As we commemorate Remembrance Day, we remember all of those who have served our country to preserve the freedoms and way of life we enjoy.  As we remember, we remember the Australians of all different backgrounds and countries including indigenous people who have stood together and made sacrifices for us. Our strength comes from our identity as one nation, strengthened by our diversity with common respect for values and principles that are at the core of our country.  As one nation, there is a common sense of shared home and shared purpose.  We show our respect for the sacrifices people have made by making the most of our opportunities and strengthening our sense of common identity.  We stand respectfully together as one, to continue to build on the tremendous gifts our elders have given us.
