Peter Beattie, Australia Queensland Premier

Happy New Year to the viewers of the New Tang Dynasty Television. I want to wish you all the best for the Chinese New Year and the Year of the Pig. I wish everybody prosperity, peace and success during the Year of the Pig.

In Queensland we have a very strong Australia Chinese community and had been responsible for helping to build this great economy. This is one of the strongest economies in the world. The Chinese community here has been builders, and I thank them for the contribution that they've made. Queensland is a multicultural community. We celebrate our diversity, the strength, that go with it and we celebrate one of our great communities, the Australia Chinese community. So happy New Year and all the best for the Year of the Pig.
