“THIS is just about my favourite day of the year,” National Museum of Australia director Mathew Trinca exulted this morning (December 16) when welcoming the state and territory recipients of the 2021 Australian of the Year Awards and launching an exhibition themed “Reflect, respect, celebrate”.
Earlier, Aboriginal Elder Paul House had urged all those present to live “a respectful way of life” before Dr Trinca said: “It makes us think about what it is to live in Australia when you have to choose one object, reduce your life down to just one thing.”
