Consider how this sor tof achievement compares with the Australian of the Year 2004. ;-] O think John Feign (ABC local radio Melb) put it well when he said (roughly), we could have given Australian of the Year to the people who worked with the burns victims of the Bali Bombing, etc, etc, but of course we gave it to the Captain of the Cricket team. No offence to the Captain of the Cricket team, but his contributions to all Australians do pale into comparison with the likes of Mr Florey.
