| Duncan Armstrong |
Champion Swimmer and Media Personality
Elite swimmer Duncan Armstrong caused more than a ripple when his performance at the 1988 Seoul Olympics broke the then 200m freestyle world record and brought home the Gold. Duncan scooped up additional Gold and Silver medals in his career, prestigious honours including Young Australian of the Year, and an Order of Australia Medal. Like many sports people, Duncan successfully transitioned from the pool to media. His ease in the spotlight paved the way for several television and radio roles which he continues today along with developing corporate and community programs. |

| Hon Peter Costello |
Australian Treasurer
The path of politics is not easy; requiring a formidable personality to navigate its many challenges. Peter Costello is just that personality. His 1990 election as MP for Higgins evolved into Liberal Party Deputy Leader (1994), setting the scene for his 1996 transition to Federal Treasurer. It’s in this role Peter enacted his greatest achievements, guiding Australia through significant financial reform including the elimination of Commonwealth debt worth $96 billion; introduction of the GST and cutting income and company taxes, to name but a few. Peter’s best selling memoir recounts his illustrious national and international career and he today continues that contribution as a member of the Independent Advisory Board to the World Bank. |
