I respect all of these guys.
One thing I do hope for though is that they are not like some of the Australian Representatives last year who tried to kill everything that was Australian.
I’m sure these guys will put the local politics aside and get Australian work recognised on the world stage.
Remember guys, what is said in the jury room isn’t a secret!
