Abstract:
Palaeontologist Scott Hocknull, from the Queens land Museum, was recently named Young Australian of the Year. For such an honour to be bestowed on a scientist rather than a sportsman is unusual in Australia, despite our aspirations to be a 'smart country' and I looked forward to hearing what Mr. Hocknull sa id in his acceptance speech.
