Good Morning, the main news headlines brought to you by Sairachna Trikha.
Today, the world leaders meet to lay down all weapons and work on the economic development of all nations.Corporate and industrial leaders meet to work on providing opportunities for poorer nations and a cleaner environment.On this day of Christmas, millions of Christians visit the birthplace of Christ;
Jerusalem, and were greeted by Israelis and Palestinians.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is not the news we hear today on the television and radios. But, this is “My Vision for the Future”.Today, I stand in front of you in our free country, but I also stand here in fear, for myself as well for as for the innocent people who could be victims of terrorism.It is possible to have only one vision for the future in a world that is constantly threatened by terrorism, war and violence. It is a vision that allows us to include everyone to live and work together – Australians, Americans, Chinese, Palestinians, Israelis, Afghanis – no one will be left out.Just as we saw a couple of years ago at the
Athens Olympics – where the world came together as a harmonious whole to compete as equals.Multiculturalism ensures that all citizens can keep their identities, take pride in their ancestry and yet have a sense of belonging. All citizens are equal. Multiculturalism gives us Australians a feeling of pride, security and self confidence making us open to and accepting diverse cultures.Our diversity is a national asset. Recent advances in technology have opened the world to us making international communication more important than ever. We Australians who speak many languages and understand may cultures, makes it easier for Australia to participate globally in areas of trade, education and diplomacy.My vision for the future goes beyond the peaceful existence of this world but extends to a world where all people live in fairness; children get the opportunities to a good education and enjoyment, today’s medical and technological advances should be made available to all. This vision is only possible when rich nations support poorer countries.Through the journey of life; from preparation to preparedness, as I stand at the gates of the future, I can only see dark clouds of inhumanity which can only be cleared with equal opportunity for all, best secured by free people working together towards a better tomorrow.We must acknowledge challenges and make our choices. A spark of possibility burns deep within every child; that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. My vision for the future can be achieved if we all work towards it from today. Let us resolve to leave this planet a better place than what we inherited.
