The list of winners, which Prime Minister Kevin Rudd will announce a bit later this afternoon is as follows:
Australian of the Year 2010: Professor Patrick McGorry of Victoria
Senior Australian of the Year 2010: Maggie Beer of South Australia
Young Australian of the Year 2010: Trooper Mark Donaldson VC of Western Australia
Australia’s Local Hero 2010: Ronni Kahn of New South Wales
There we go. No need to wait around and endure the painful process of listening to Kevin Rudd talk.
I’m not naming my source but am 100% sure that this information is accurate. I’m led to believe that the media are stuck in some sort of embargo around this information, so if you’re in the media and reading this, it’s not my fault if you decide to relay it and get in to trouble for it.

With your inside info, have you had a bet?

Centrebet don’t appear to have a market for it, and that’s the only place that I have an account.
Great idea though…clearly I’m not thinking quickly enough today.

Actually, I’m sure that Centrebet did have a market for this last week. They must close it before the announcement goes out to stop this sort of inside information affecting the betting. Such a shame.
