Yet, through all the adversity, we’ve had the opportunity to shine a light on our national heroes.
It’s clear we have a huge debt of gratitude to the frontline heroes who have worked so tirelessly and selflessly to keep our country going. Those individuals have my utmost respect and it is a great honour that Etihad can give back to this community."
