Alfred Deakin
Alfred Deakin, Australia's second Prime Minister was one of the worlds greatest orators of his time. He is the Father of Federation and the man who established Australia's early foundations. His only desire was to serve his nation without seeking any titles or honours, he simply wanted to do the will of God. He was as great a leader as Abraham Lincoln, Sir Winston Churchill or Nelson Mandella and Australian's need to honour and be proud of his achievements. He was a humble man who had a deep spiritual connection with the God of the bible which motivated him to say in 1905 "Jesus Christ is the life of the present, the light of the future and the hope of the world"
