00:20I can't begin to imagine what people have been weighing up and as Australians I think
00:28a lot of us would just wish the context was something fundamentally different but I think
00:34we need to remember this when those players were silent at the start of their first match
00:45in Australia that silence was heard as a roar all around the world and the world wanted to know
00:54and Australians wanted to know how we would respond we responded by saying the invitation
01:00is there in Australia you can be safe you will be welcomed you will be at home for everybody
01:09who was given that choice I'm really glad we did that and for the seven people who took up that
01:16offer we as a nation are lucky that you chose us and I think they are only just beginning
01:24to realize just how welcome they are here in Australia
