Two promiment committee members of The Friends of Australia Association (Malta) were decorated by the Australian Governor General. Virgil Bugeja was presented with the Medal of the Order of Australia by Australian High Commissioner Janet Lambert for services rendered to returned migrant members of the association and Tony Cutajar was granted the same insignia for having run the association for 37 years as its first president. He resigned this year to be replaced by Bugeja. Committee members Albert Camilleri, Sandra Taliana, Myriam Pavia, Joe Pavia, Paul Sammut, Frank Micallef and Benny Vella are seen here with Tony Cutajar and Virgil Bugeja (third and fourth from left respectively).
