    Yep, here's the media report from November.

    It might have re-emerged in the media in the lead up to Australia Day. I presume the Australian of the Year is selected from each of the state awardees??

    Yep, the state awards are essentially just that state's nominations in the four categories (with Adam's category being "Australian of the Year").
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Would love to read it but can't as I don't (and won't) pay for another newspaper - the Australian is not allowing access.

    Shame, because I really wanted to read this article. Many thanks for the thought though.

    The Australian is a News Limited rag so even if you paid me a dozen cheerleaders and a years supply of beer I still wouldn't read it.

    No, it's definitely a News Ltd rag.
