Kevin Rudd, Prime Minister of Australia: But, the bottom line is, Cathy's come here today to Darwin to promote nominations for Australian of the Year and she's given me the first nomination or given Adam Gilchrist, who's Chairman of the Australia Day Council, the first nomination and we want tens-of-thousands more.

Catherine Freeman OAM: Yes, please. Please come out and support your fellow Australians.
