'Advocate for the Global Goals Australia Campaign'
"In this new century, millions of people in the world's poorest countries remain imprisoned, enslaved, and in chains. They are trapped in the prison of poverty. It is time to set them free. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. And overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life. While poverty persists, there is no true freedom."
Nelson Mandela
"We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community... Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own"

"Although we take it for granted, sanitation is a physical measure that has probably done more to increase human life span than any kind of drug or surgery"

"In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both private and public, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings"
Urie Bronfenbrenner
"Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice."
Robert F. Kennedy
"I acknowledge the amazing contribution we all as advocates for 'Global Goals' can make across the world as humanitarians and philanthropists as artists and as a global community.
It is with great honour and pride that I accept the title as Advocate for Global Goals Australia Campaign."
