CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY

Introduction and acknowledgement

Thank you Andrew for your welcome.

Before I begin I would like to acknowledge that we meet on the land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, and pay my respects to elders, past and present. May I also acknowledge Peter Greste’s parents and family who have joined us tonight.

I thank Al Jazeera for the invitation and congratulate them for its focus on sharing the human story in a depth that is unusual in this age of the five second doorstop grab.
