	Launch of 2004 Clean Up Australia Day campaign Transcript 7 March 2004
		The environment, a good environment, is everybody's responsibility and today on Clean Up Australia Day, we come together to show that we're all working as a community to make sure that the place we live is as clean and as healthy and in as good a condition as we can possibly make it.
		Clean Up really was a vision of a wonderful Aussie bloke called Ian Kiernan who some years ago came back to Australia and saw the state of Sydney Harbour and said, let's clean it up.
		I think his real mission was not to clean up Sydney Harbour, I'd suggest it was to change the attitudes and knowledge base of Australians and the next generation so that we won't have those problems in the future.

	Clean Up Australia Day
		The clean up was extremely successful with 13 large bags of rubbish and 1 bag of recyclables collected, as well as 2 car tyres, a shopping trolley, a decrepit large goal net and assorted signs (including one for the Stawell Gift!!).
		The clean up has not only beautified the environment in which we live, but has raised awareness of just how much rubbish can be out of sight in the area of MRS.
		‘Clean Up Australia’ Day is the largest community environmental event in Australia and it was fantastic for MRS to be among the 4700 sites taking part across Australia, and to have had such support on the day.
