Simon: Ladies and gentlemen it’s time now for the final chapter of this evening, time
to find out who will win the attitude ACC Supreme Award and with it $5,000 of Air New
Zealand Travel and a Toyota for a year. And it gives me great pleasure now to welcome
the Chairman of the ACC Board, Mr. John Judge and with him two very familiar faces to Attitude
viewers, presenters Tanya Black and Dan Buckley. Welcome to Tanya, Dan and John Judge.
John: It gives me enormous pleasure to be here to present the Attitude ACC Supreme Award
to one of the inspirational people we have tonight. If you don’t go home tonight having
made a silent promise to yourself to do better, to provide more for your family, for your
communities, for New Zealand, then frankly you haven’t been listening.
Tanya: But before we find out who is the Attitude ACC Supreme winner lets have a re-cap at those
6 finalists.
John: I’m very honoured to present the Attitude ACC Supreme Award to Melanie Sloan.
Simon: I want you to know what the judges had to say about Melanie. Melanie achieved
exceptionally well considering her operations and disability; she’s done so much in such
a short time they’ve said. Melanie’s showed the true meaning of spirit in the community,
an inspiring attitude, not only to her disability, but also to those around her. She is our Supreme
winner for 2010, congratulations Melanie.
Melanie: Glad they let me out of hospital. I guess I have to start with my family, my
Mum and my Dad and my Brother and my Sister, they’re my team and thank you to Attitude
TV. Everyone here tonight is an inspiration in their own way and I feel incredible honoured,
so thank you, and I hope the car is an automatic. Thank you.
Kristy: Toyota are committed to making a difference in the disabled sector, so it didn’t take
much convincing to get them on board for the Attitude Awards. They wanted the Attitude
ACC Supreme winner behind the wheel of a car so they’re giving the winner a Toyota Signature
Class car for a year. Now comes the hard part - choosing one.
Simon: Ladies and gentlemen that brings to a close the formal part of proceedings. On
behalf of Attitude I’d like to sincerely thank your excellencies, Sir Anand Satyanand
and Susan Lady Satyanand and sponsors and guest presenters, everybody is very very important,
also to New Zealand on Air and all of our wonderful finalists and performers and of
course it wouldn’t be possible without all of you for coming along this evening, to share
the evening with us, thank you so much for being here.
It is my great pleasure, it is my great privilege to be able to be part of celebrating so much
courage, determination, community spirit and as the word says, so much attitude. And just
as we wind things up ladies and gentlemen, lets celebrate a little bit more, would you
please welcome here to sing the song called Mamma, the one and only Hollie Smith.
