A welcome to imigrants in Australia.

"Australians all let us rejoice for we are young and free." This, the first line of our nation's anthem sums up what I believe to be truly Australian, and shows what bonds our society and defines Australia. Today I welcome you to Australia, a country that is young - at heart and in age, and free - free from the turmoil and struggles of many other countries in the world. Our youth as a nation …

…freely between states, between religions or between political parties without fear of retribution. The sun comes up over the magnificent Pacific Ocean and golden beaches in the east... it travels across our gold soils and vast deserts and sets in the West over the Indian Ocean and you are free to live, play and enjoy every part of this land that abounds in natures gifts! Welcome to Australia a country in which you are free.
