2011 National Drug and Alcohol Awards
MESSAGE FROM PRIME MINISTER JULIA GILLARD
Every day, thousands of dedicated professionals offer their experience, expertise and compassion to those struggling with the consequences of drug use.
Their interventions help protect public health, reduce crime, and enable users to come to terms with their condition and regain control of their future.
If these are difficult endeavours, they are never thankless. Rather our hardworking drug and alcohol workers have the nation's gratitude and admiration.
In that spirit, I offer my sincerest congratulations to Judge Roger Dive, a worthy recipient of the 2011 Prime Minister's Award for Excellence and Outstanding Contribution to Drug and Alcohol Endeavours.
Judge Dive, a Senior Judge of the NSW Drug Court, has worked tirelessly to promote a humane and practical response to offenders with alcohol and drug problems, using the courts to reduce the negative effects of drugs and alcohol on individuals and society.
The innovative work of Judge Dive and his colleagues on the Drug Court is mirrored by a web of government and non-government services across all our States and Territories – a partnership that succeeds through cooperation, goodwill and a shared belief that what we are doing really can make a difference.
Therefore I send my best wishes to Judge Dive and to all his colleagues in the sector, whose work is also honoured by this special award.
I know you will keep doing great things to save and transform lives.
The Honourable Julia Gillard
