She has also held leadership roles in sport, the arts, culture, social justice and public policy.
She has also been acknowledged for her work throughout the coronavirus pandemic, having driven a social media campaign aimed at informing and protecting Indigenous communities from the virus.Victorian Donna Stolzenberg helped homeless people find shelter at the height of coronavirus lockdowns. The proud Indigenous woman responded to a "call to action" during last summer's bushfire season and saw demand for her services triple during the pandemic.

I will be backing the ones who have been nominated for doing things that they are not getting paid for as part of their occupation.
I’m sure the PM is hoping that one specific finalist doesn’t win the top-gong... auspol
Joyce won one of these virus flowing in and workers sacked
All very worthy
Why can’t they all receive this award, great work from all these candidates.
Let’s be diverse and give it to a white man for a change
We should hold all of these people in high esteem. They are all heroes!
It should be going to the rural firefighters. And not just a generic 'thanks to them' they should have the name of every single person.
Can they all win, please? All incredible people.
All equally deserving but I’d have to go with Fitzsimmons
What this group put together doesn't equal what Brendan Farrell has been doing for drought affected farmers.
What a lineup. Give it to all of them. 🏆
Which Australia-hating Lefty is going to named this year’s Australian of the Year? I can hardly wait.
Would love Shane Fitzsimmons as Victoria's Premier.
Shane Fitzsimmons is my pick
I hope the black woman wins.
Great selection with the exception of Tanya Hosch. I say this because she is quite politically polarizing which should be enough excluded from the honor. My vote is for: 1. Shane Fitzsimmons 2. Professor Brendan Murphy 3. Dr Wendy Page
Can’t help but see the white men had direct access power, the women help the disadvantaged and the brown guy overcomes adversity. It’s an endless template of reinforcing structural norms. auspol
They are all excellent choices. Looking forward to read more on their biographies.
Its a shame there has to be a winner they are all equally deserving of the highest award.
If it was done on lives saved, professor Murphy would win hands down. His early actions with our response to the covid pandemic saved thousands of lives.
Without denigrating any of the finalists in any way, why do the political class elevate the few So many Australians covertly & selflessly sacrifice to undo the damage caused by that non representative self serving political class and their puppet masters year after year
An amazing list of great community oriented Aussies Australia
Shane Fitzsimmons.
Why is Dan Andrews missing?😠
I will be backing the ones without ties.
