00:00Those who knew Tom described him as having all the characteristics for which the rats
00:07of Tobruk were known.
00:08He was a larrikin, selfless to a fault, and he had a wicked sense of humour.
00:14At 102, that's a great age, and we salute his service to our nation.
00:23As Prime Minister, I salute him personally, but I also take today the opportunity to salute
00:31every single rat of Tobruk, a great group of Australians of whom we can all be proud.
