If our leaders are not doing enough to make Australia into the great nation that it can be, we can do our bit at a local level.

It’s easy to complain. It is much harder to plan for a better future and demonstrate our values through our behaviour.

We are a generous, friendly nation. Let’s show this to everyone we meet. It only takes one gesture to have tourists thinking all Australians are helpful and friendly.
