The Governor said:" Today, these recognized people are undoubtedly the best and the best example of Australia at the moment. They are dedicated, committed and selfless to the community and I congratulate them on their achievements. There is a story behind each winner. Some of them are selflessly dedicated, others have made personal sacrifices, others have made significant achievements, and they are all helping others to make our cities, communities and even the country as a whole better. "

"They stand out from the crowd, but they are also ordinary people," he said. The most encouraging thing is that we know people like them in our lives, people who are recognized today and contribute to our society, big and small, and we have seen a lot of such examples in the rescue of the Australian forest fire. These outstanding Aussies are the epitome of Australia. "

A number of AM and OAM honours have come from all parts of Australia. They have all been successful in their respective fields. Some have done their utmost for charity, some have contributed to the Chinese community, some have done their utmost for younger generations, and others have worked in their fields for decades. Although the reasons for the award vary, they all deserve to be the most outstanding Chinese representative in Australia.
