NSW: Carr, Bashir praise workers for tsunami relief operation

New South Wales Premier BOB CARR and Governor MARIE BASHIR have thanked the state's
medical and emergency workers who helped in the Asian tsunami relief effort with a special
lunch at Government House.

Mr CARR says state police and forensic staff are now recognised as world leaders in
disaster victim identification as a result of recent events, including the tsunami, Bali
bombings and the Thredbo disaster.

Professor BASHIR says their efforts prevented outbreaks of cholera, typhoid and other
deadly diseases.
