Oh I am so honoured. Thanks to the Australian
Sports Commission for recognising us journo’s
0:00:31.349,0:00:37.540
in the rural and regional areas. I also want
to thank, sorry, I want to thank you for recognising
0:00:37.540,0:00:44.329
this story, because it really was a community
story, about a community getting behind a
0:00:44.329,0:00:48.219
young guy that just wanted to play footy and
red tape got in the way. But thanks to the
0:00:48.219,0:00:53.309
community and a campaign on facebook, he got
to do that. So thank you so much. Thanks to
0:00:53.309,0:00:57.390
my husband Keith, for driving down the Hume
to be with me tonight. Thank you.
