Hon John Howard OM AC, Prime Minister of Australia (1996-2007)
“I recall with affection our many dealings in the time that I was Prime Minister. You were a staunch advocate of the interests of the Guild’s membership, but equally mindful of what was reasonable to expect from any government. Successive Health Ministers – including our new Prime Minister – frequently spoke to me of the constructive manner of their engagement with the Guild.
“You have given great leadership to the Guild, both in Queensland and nationally. I compliment and thank you for that. “
