Prime Minister

On behalf of the Government and the people of Australia, I wish you all the very best for a successful, safe and joyous Commonwealth Games.

I know how hard you have worked to prepare yourselves for the competition we will see in the coming days. 

We salute your passion and your dedication.

Australia has a proud Commonwealth Games tradition.

A tradition not just of success, but of participation with other nations in the true spirit of the Games.

I know you will continue that honourable tradition and fly our flag high.

Along with all Australians, I will be cheering you on.

Good luck,
