00:00Very strong. Thank you very much.
00:02Your heart is strong. Your courage is inspiring.
00:07Thank you very much.
00:12It's a great honour to meet Ahmed El Ahmed.
00:16He is a true Australian hero.
00:19He's very humble.
00:21He went through his thought processes
00:24as he saw the atrocities unfold.
00:28He had gone to Bondi with friends and relatives.
00:35He was trying to get a cup of coffee.
00:37Simple as that.
00:38And found himself at a moment
00:41where people were being shot in front of him.
00:47He decided to take action.
00:50And his bravery is an inspiration for all Australians.
00:57He is a very humble man.
01:00Tomorrow he will undergo further surgery.
01:04His mother and father are here visiting him from Syria.
01:09And I was able to meet them as well.
01:12They're very proud parents.
01:14He, at a moment where we have seen evil perpetrated,
01:23he shines out as an example of the strength of humanity.
01:29We are a brave country.
01:31Ahmed El Ahmed represents the best of our country.
01:37We will not allow this country to be divided.
01:40That is what the terrorists seek.
01:43We will unite.
01:45We will embrace each other.
01:47And we'll get through this.
01:49Thank you very much.
