Prime Minister Scott Morrison is encouraging Australians to look forward to 2020 and praised those who served their communities in a year of natural disasters.
In a year when floods, drought and bushfires have ravaged the country, Australians are being urged to keep their chins up and stand with their families and communities.
"This spirit is what makes Australians the amazing country it is, and in this Christmas time we give thanks despite these terrible challenges for the wonderful country that we've been blessed to live in," he said."We're an amazing country, we're an amazing people and 2020 is another year in which we demonstrate why this is the best country in the world."
