Prime Minister Scott Morrison urged everyone to remember those who are struggling in his yearly Christmas greeting.
This Christmas, six families from the Hillcrest Primary School in Devonport, Tasmania, are in utter disarray, according to Mr. Morrison.
This Christmas, I believe that people all around the nation will cry and pray for them.
More than other years, this one serves as a reminder of our true blessings. one another
This Christmas, six families from the Hillcrest Primary School in Devonport, Tasmania, are absolutely crushed, and our sympathies are with them. Everything they valued in life was cruelly ripped away from them in an instant. Because it’s unthinkable, our hearts ache for them. And this Christmas, I hope that all over the nation, we will shed a tear and pray for them, hoping that they will find some solace in their awful sadness.
Many Australians will be reunited this Christmas for the first time in a long time while they grieve, but tragically not all. Still others will be on their own. At this time of year, everyone is always alone, making it an extremely lonely period. Others will be experiencing their first Christmas without a loved one who is no longer there at the table. We’re also considering you.
The Omicron version of this pandemic is merely the most recent difficulty we have encountered. But it is only through working together that we continue to make progress.
Of course, at the end of this year, we can reflect on the numerous challenges we’ve faced and the losses suffered by individuals. However, we are an optimistic people, and you know that Christmas is a time of hope. And no matter what happens, we support ourselves to get through it, just like we did throughout this pandemic, saving lives and preserving livelihoods like few other nations in the world.
The affection we have for those around us, the way of life we so highly appreciate and enjoy in Australia, and the ability to lead and aspire in our magnificent country are what fuel Australians’ quiet confidence.
I’m extremely appreciative of Australia. Australian nationality. for my fellow Australians as well.
The Australian spirit that has been on exhibit, which has inspired, endured, cared, and displayed incredible courage, is the greatest present I could ask for.
Australians are already giving so much of themselves to help others over this holiday season, working and volunteering to keep Australians safe and demonstrating to their countrymen and women that they matter, that they are respected, and that they are cared for.
They operate trucks, provide vital supplies, administer our booster shots, and carry out our COVID testing. They provide volunteer service at homeless shelters and work in emergency rooms. They are prepared to respond to the numerous natural calamities that, regrettably, strike us this time of year, such the recent fires, floods, and awful storms. They are keeping watch on our beaches. In the interests of our country, they are serving overseas.
I also want to express my gratitude to the numerous Australians serving in countless other countries throughout the world, especially the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Defense Forces who are currently deployed in the Solomon Islands. I wish to express my gratitude to all of those kind Australians. This Christmas, may God especially bless you and your family, even if you aren’t together.
May everyone who needs a break from a trying year find it at the Christmas table with friends and family by just laughing out loud for a good long time. May this Christmas provide warmth and camaraderie to those who have been alone this year.
As we consider the wonderful gifts that God has given to both us and his son, Jesus Christ, may those of us who have faith find great encouragement. And may each of us, especially our children, experience some of the joy and wonder of Christmas. From our family to yours, Jen and I wish you a very happy holiday season and a prosperous new year in 2022. Merry Christmas and God bless, Australia.
Anthony Albanese, the leader of the opposition, kept his remarks brief while praising the opportunity for many Australians to reunite with their loved ones.
Mr. Albanese stated, “Thanks to everyone for looking out for each other.
Australians have stood together, and now that our borders are reopening, we’re reuniting, off the Zoom, and literally back in the room with our loved ones.
“May the holiday season bring you happiness and serve as a portent of brighter things to come.”
