MESSAGES

Mr Curtis McGrath OAMParalympic gold-medal-winning para-canoeist

“Sport is a great way to connect and

empower people right around the world.

This is why the Paralympic and Olympic

Games are important to me. The power

of sport has many layers and this is

just one.”

Ms Leisel Jones OAMOlympic gold-medal-winning swimmer

“We have a great relationship with

Tokyo and I think the Australian athletes

in particular feel very comfortable

competing here. We do hope that if there

is no Japanese swimmer in the pool that

they may like to cheer for Australians.”

Ms Lynne AndersonParalympics Australia Chief Executive Officer

“The people of Japan now have a golden

chance to build a more inclusive society

for people with a disability through

Paralympic sport. Paralympics Australia

is excited to help the people of Japan

achieve that goal.”

Mr Matt Carroll AMThe Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) Chief Executive Officer　

“AOC can play a valuable role building

bridges in the Asia/Pacific region and

beyond. With our family of 44 sports, the

AOC has both the capacity and the desire

to make a contribution on the ground in

a substantial way.”

Ms Raelene CastleRugby Australia Chief Executive Officer

“The Rugby World Cup in 2019, coupled

with Rugby Sevens to be played at the

Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, puts Rugby

in a strong position to further enhance

our relationships with Japan and the

wider region.”

Senator the Hon Marise PayneForeign Minister

Japan, the Australian Government’s

AUS+RALLY sports diplomacy initiative
