FED: Time to reflect on Aussies defending our values: Turnbull
CANBERRA, Dec 24 AAP - Federal Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull says Christmas is
a time to remember soldiers serving overseas defending Australia's values.
In a Christmas message released on YouTube, the Liberal leader thanks troops in Iraq,
Afghanistan and East Timor.
"(Christmas) is a time to remember our servicemen and women who are defending Australia's
values in very dangerous places around the world," Mr Turnbull said.
"They're not with their families at Christmas time like most of us are.
"We should remember them in our thoughts and prayers.
"They're serving Australia, wearing our uniform, under our flag, doing us proud."
Mr Turnbull recorded his internet message at a Salvation Army centre in Sydney, after
helping to pack Christmas hampers for the disadvantaged.
He appears alongside wife Lucy.
The Wentworth MP also called on Australians to drive safely over the festive period.
"A lot of Australians will be going on holidays," he said.
"Lucy and I will, we'll be driving around Tasmania.
"We'll be driving safely. We all should be."
