Congratulations, Dick. An award that is well-deserved. I particularly admire a man who is wealthy, but who doesn't flaunt his wealth with conspicuous consumerism - and who uses his wealth and prominent position to improve the lot of many fellow men (and women, too, no doubt).
Australia needs more people like you, and less of the recently-departed Perth-based corporate sociopath, who left no lingering benefit to anyone. He lived to reward himself at others expense.
I am sure your eventual memorial will read, "he helped many others less fortunate than himself". You are truly a man worthy of the award.
