It is a truth universally acknowledged, that when a single mother loses her home to a predatory cat fish, she must send her only gay son to Sydney to marry a rich.

LEAD SPONSOR - AMERICAN AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATION
Over 10,000 miles may separate us.
14 hours may stand between one’s day and the other’s night.
And the greatest ocean may make it seem like we’re a world apart.
Yet we have never been closer than we are today.
In celebrating our many differences, Americans and Australians have always come together under a common belief in freedom, openness and optimism to unite our two great countries.
With ambitious vigor, we forge new paths to progress and embrace our responsibility as world leaders.
For over 70 years, the American Australian Association has connected our two cultures, guided our people and provided new opportunities for a diverse network of trail blazers.
We build enduring connections where culture, commerce and community come together to open the door to boundless possibility.
