On Australia Day 2010, as we enter this second decade of the 21st century, Australians can be optimistic about our future, but we cannot afford to mistake optimism for complacency. -- Kevin Rudd
Sorry Day falls on the eve of Reconciliation Week, giving us the chance to ask whether we are making progress in the wider challenge of reconciling Indigenous and other Australians. -- Malcolm Fraser
It's a fun day, a day which kicks off the start of our tour, it's got great tradition - Australian cricketers just love tradition - and it's been a really pleasant day. -- Matthew Hayden
It's a song that we sing after we win a Test match. We sing it after every one-day series win. It's been passed down through the generations. It's the culture of the Australian team. -- Ricky Ponting

The evidence is inarguable that Australia is becoming too expensive and too uncompetitive to do export-oriented business.

With Australian audiences, there's a certain level of education - as far as how much access and exposure they have to music from various genres.

In Australia, I grew up watching 'The Mickey Mouse Club,' my son grew up watching 'Sesame Street,' my grandson's growing up watching 'Dora The Explorer.'

One day we were sitting in our little classroom in the middle of Australia Zoo, and Dad bursts in and says, 'OK, today we're going to go climb a mountain,' - the Glass House Mountains are about 20 minutes away - so we packed up all our math work and ran out the door and climbed Mount Tibrogargan. -- Bindi Irwin
I hate that there'll be moments in my day and I'll be patting down my legs trying to find my phone. I hate how anxious it makes me feel when I don't have it.

It's a perfect day here in Australia, glorious blue sunshine -- Christopher Martin-Jenkins
I packed coffee once when I lived in Australia, and I just remember going around every day with coffee up my nose and in my ears. -- Hugo Weaving
