Geoffrey Rush

4BC Breakfast: At last, you can find out whether Geoffrey Rush, Australian of the Year, is claimed by either Queensland or Victoria. Rush joins Peter and Mary to reminisce about 4BC and reveal whether or not the Queen has seen "The King's Speech"

Blog comments

Dear Mick
Sorry mate my Google translate must be confused, what do you mean here? "personally I feel that there would have been more deserving the Rush or carbon Kate thier likes."

Bob Lord Saturday 28 January, 2012 - 7:38 PM
Hey richard get off your hind legs and leave Bella alone. What she was commenting about was more important then the political appointment of Rush as the Australian of the year, personally I feel that there would have been more deserving the Rush or carbon Kate thier likes. Bella was more appropriate with her comment than you Richard with your snivelling name dropping.

@Another Proud Aussie and @BELLA.
This section is about Geoffrey Rush - Australian of the Year. From interviews I have seen with the man he is a very proud Aussie, intelligent, articulate and one very talented actor. I wish him well.

Re Another Proud Aussie,
For real? you are proud of that piece you penned.
Grow up you silly child.
RE@Bella,
you are 100 percent correct there was nothing in Tony Abbotts comments, nothing at all. Just misconstrued by a bunch of people looking for trouble.

Mr Abbott said he understood why the tent embassy was set up "all those years ago".
"I think a lot has changed for the better since then," he told reporters.
"I think the indigenous people of Australia can be very proud of the respect in which they are held by every Australian.
"I think a lot has changed since then, and I think it probably is time to move on from that."
To claim that those remarks are raciest is irrational.
The fanatical agitators will never be happy no matter what they get from any Australian Government

Why is it, Liebor Spin on Racism, Asylum, Constitution & Flag Change Propaganda on Australia Day & their nominated recipients plays a part giving speeches on racism & asylum without fail?
Congratulations to the fine people of these awards but Liebor should stop using people to spin their socialist agenda.
Juliar & Liebor are very stage managed, even have their well rehearsed Speak Cards Q&A sheets for every Event given daily.
It is clearly ALL about accepting Liebor socialist agenda & acceptance of illegal immigration & shutting down debate with the guilt laden racist card.
We do NOT accept illegal immigration, so Act in our interests & stop making excuses about over the top rebuilding costs & stop the boats & reopen Nauru & issue Temporary Visas ONLY remove the welfare & family reunion & STOP the pull factors.
Our Flag is our journey, Monarchy is working just fine & served us well & our Constitution is the voice of the people & ALL should be preserved NOT changed one bit.
Liebor wants a republic & to hand over our governance to the UN NWO and we reject it & their socialist ideological madness.
LIEbor cannot be trusted and have overstepped the authority we gave them to govern in the interests of the nation NOT control and act for themselves.
Get out JuLIAR, Albersleazy, Thomson & the rest of the Credit Card Carrying LIEbor Green Independents Untrustworthy SPIN ACTORS Party.
Happy Australia Day everyone, we will get rid of the Liebor Govt of NO credibility soon enough, so wave that Flag with pride!
