An Australia Day surprise from Nigel Warren and the Australian Consulate in San Francisco

Yesterday, I was delighted to receive an Australia Day commendation from Australia's excellent Consul General to San Francisco, Nigel Warren.

Nigel's commendation (pictured) states:

"The Australian Consulate-General San Francisco commends Mr. Victor Perton for his exceptional commitment and contribution in promoting the State of Victoria and Australia and for strengthening Australia's relationship with San Francisco and United States of America."

These things are always a team effort. The Austrade team and the consulate, let by Nigel, have been great allies and collaborators and we could not have achieved what we have achieved without them. So too the optimism and energy shown by my team in the Victorian Government Business Office in San Francisco has been splendid and made this job as Commissioner a pleasure.
