The Heart of Australia Award
I am pleased to have been asked to support “the Heart of Australia Peace Award” for Sri Chinmoy, for his service and dedication to peace in the world.
The people of Australia have always cherished and sought to preserve peace and harmony not only without our own continent but also to encourage and foster peaceful endeavours and projects worldwide.
Australia has a proud history. Our nation has shown concern for human rights at home and overseas and has played a leadership role in promoting peace.
In my role as Federal Member for Adelaide, I have joined with school children and community leaders in activities such as the Sri Chinmoy Peace Run to raise awareness in the community. It is fitting to acknowledge the role played by Sri Chinmoy in promoting peace with “the Heart of Australia Peace Award.”
