编者按
春花百朵开，金牛报福音。值此中华民族传统节日——春节到来之际，昆州政要纷纷发来贺词、视频，向大家致以诚挚的问候和新春祝福。
一、昆士兰州督保罗·泽西阁下（H.E. Hon Paul de Jersey AC, Governor of Queensland）：
在州督任上第七年，我很高兴在新春佳节到来之际，向在昆华人致以新年的问候。
2021年是中国农历牛年。牛有着众多美好品质：勤劳奉献、积极向上、谦逊有礼。这些品质不禁使我们回忆过去，展望未来。
这些品质让我们想到了2020年奋斗在医疗等各个重要领域抗疫一线的人们，对他们的努力工作，我们内心充满了谢意。一线人员的事迹也鼓舞着我们一起奋斗来创造更美好的2021年。
春节是家庭欢聚的日子。过去一年的共同经历，让我们更加珍惜这个团聚的机会。中国农历新年和春节的诸多习俗，不仅体现了中华文化的源远流长，还让我们感受到，早年来昆定居的华人丰富了昆州社区文化，150多年来为昆州做出了卓越贡献。
我的夫人Kaye和我祝愿所有在昆华人蒸蒸日上，牛年快乐！
It is a great pleasure in my seventh year as Governor to greet Queensland's Chinese community on the occasion of the Spring Festival and the arrival of Chinese New Year 2021.
This year, 2021, is the year of the Ox. The many praiseworthy characteristics associated with the Ox — hard-working, positive, dedicated and modest — encourage us to look towards both the past and the future.
They remind us of the extraordinary work of our frontline workers in health and other important sectors in 2020 and our gratitude for their endeavours on our behalf. They also inspire us all to work together towards a better 2021.
The Spring Festival is traditionally a time when families gather to celebrate, and we have all come to value this opportunity even more after our shared experiences over the past year.
The many traditions surrounding Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival are a reminder of the deep roots of Chinese culture. They also bring to mind the many ways in which Queenslanders with Chinese ancestry have enriched the communities in our State, with some of these wonderful contributions reaching back more than 150 years.
Kaye and I are delighted to wish all members of Queensland's Chinese community a happy and productive Year of the Ox, 2021.
二、昆士兰州长白乐琪女士（Hon Annastacia Palaszczuk, Premier of Queensland）：
在这世界各地共庆春节、喜迎牛年之时，我谨向昆士兰州13.6万华人以及我们在中国的朋友致以最美好的祝愿。
作为十二生肖的第二个，我们期待牛能给我们力量，让我们从2020年的诸多挑战中走出，迎接复苏。在可见的未来，新冠疫情已经改变了我们的世界，影响着我们工作、交流和庆祝传统佳节的方式。
昆州目前对疫情的处理是强有力的。尽管规模略小，但我们很开心许多在昆华人的新年庆祝活动仍能继续进行。今年许多昆州人的庆祝不得不搬到线上，我在此对中国驻布里斯班总领馆举行线上新年庆祝活动致以谢意。
愿春节为我们开启更美好的新的一年，愿大家身体健康，愿经济欣欣向荣，愿中昆关系有更多新机遇。
新年快乐！
I extend my best wishes to Queensland's 136,000-strong Chinese community and our many friends in China as the world celebrates the Spring Festival and ushers in the Year of the Ox.
Looking to the second animal in the Chinese Zodiac, this year we take inspiration from oxen strength and determination to recover from a very challenging 2020.
COVID-19 has changed our world for the foreseeable future – how we work, how we communicate and how we celebrate our most beloved traditions.
Thanks to Queensland's strong health response to date, we are grateful that a number of local Chinese New Year celebrations can proceed, albeit on a smaller scale. However, this year most Queenslanders will enjoy a digital celebration of the occasion, and I thank the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in Brisbane for their online festivities.
May the Spring Festival mark the start of a brighter year – one that brings health and economic recovery and new opportunities for Queensland–China partnerships.
Happy Chinese New Year!
三、昆士兰州议会议长柯蒂斯·皮特（Hon Curtis Pitt）发来新春祝福：
请接收我对中国春节庆祝活动的最美好的祝福。
祝你和你所爱之人身体健康，新年快乐。
Please accept my best wishes for the Chinese Spring Festival celebrations.
I wish you and your loved ones a happy new year and good health.

你好！我是大卫·克利萨富利，自由国家党领袖，兼昆士兰反对党领袖。祝大家春节快乐！
我们身处不同的时区,对于只能通过网络，而不是现场来庆祝华人日历上这一重要节日，我们感到非常遗憾。
但是，我们必须借此机会对华人社团在澳大利亚的特殊地位予以认可。你们代表了第二大移民群体，你们的到来令我们的社会更加完善。对于你们为澳大利亚和昆州带来的，无论是种植还是美食，我们都张开怀抱表示欢迎，并希望能够看到你们继续发挥自己重要的作用。
牛年将是不同寻常的一年。但是经历过新冠肺炎疫情的考验和磨难，昆士兰有很多可圈可点之处。昆士兰洁净、绿色、好客，并愿意继续欢迎人们来到这里，将澳大利亚建成伟大的国家。
在此，我谨代表自由国家党全体成员，感谢你们为昆士兰及澳大利亚所做的贡献。祝大家节日快乐！希望来年我们可以现场庆祝，庆祝有关中国的一切奇妙之处。
感谢大家！
Ni-Hao! I'm David Chrisafulli, the Leader of the LNP and the Leader of the opposition in Queensland. Wishing you a happy Chinese New Year.
We live in different times, and the fact that we have to celebrate such a significant, significant part of your community's calendar for an online rather than in-person is something that all of us regret.
But we must not let it pass without acknowledging how special the Chinese Community is in the Australia fabric. You represent the second largest migrant intake, and we are better as a society for having you. For all the things you've helped to bring to Queensland and Australia, whether that through farming, cuisine, we welcome you and embrace you,
and want to see you continue to play that magnificent part you do.
In this Year of the Ox, it will be a different year. But through the trials and tribulations of COVID, Queensland has a story to sell. We are clean, we are green and we are welcoming, and we are a society that will continue to welcome people to come to this country and make it the great place it is.
So, on behalf of every one of the LNP, thank you for what you do for our state, for our country. Enjoy the celebrations, and next year it will be in person and will continue to celebrate all that is magic about China.
Thanks very much.
