“Congratulations to all the 4BC Breakfast family,” said Neil. “We like to think we had a part in it because we drove hard on the Anzac Day services for this year.”

“The decision today … is clearly really, really important for veterans,” President of the Brisbane Anzac Day Parade Kerry Gallagher said to Neil Breen.

“I do thank the Premier but most importantly, Neil, I thank you and your team – particularly Karryn.

“Really the power for this [came from] …  your program, Scott Emerson’s program.”

“The most important thing was the listeners believed,” said Neil.
