An action-packed Australia Day has finished up at the Charters Towers citizenship ceremony where 10 new Aussies took the pledge at The World Theatre. Thank you to Mayor Liz Schmidt for the invitation to represent the Federal Parliament in your terrific town. And congratulations to all our new citizens around the country who have chosen to adopt our great country. Definitely worthy of a celebration. Pics: 1. Our newest citizens. 2.
