Hello I am Kevin Andrews. I am the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, and it's with great pleasure that I offer new year greetings to members of the Chinese community both of Australia and right around the world. This has been a very big year for us as it comes to an end and I am sure we will look to the new year with a sense of hope and enthusiasm and shared understanding for the new year, and I'll also take this opportunity to wish NTDTV all the best for the coming Gala and I'm sure it's going to be a wonderful success.
