Are you ready? Hi, everyone.
It's Ruby Rose here and my delightful dog Daisy. Say hi. Hi!
We just wanted to say congratulations to the winners from the Back Me Up competition.
There was over 100 amazing films that were entered into the comp from all over Australia,
the videos obviously raising awareness
about how you can back each other up when you see cyberbullying.
An incredible effort from everybody.
The films, they were all outstanding and we were so impressed.
The judges were seriously blown away -
the creativity and just the fact that you showed the importance and understanding
that there needs to be some action taken when it comes to cyberbullying.
The films were judged by a panel of Australian Human Rights Commission,
young people, representatives from organisations and foundations that supported the campaign
like NIDA, Headspace, the Alannah and Madeline Foundation,
and the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
Amazing. A huge panel of people to be watching the films and to be blown away.
So really, really great.
I want to do a big shout out to the winning films.
So there was Enough by Simeon Bain, a 17-year-old from Gisborne in Victoria.
There's Cyber by Casey Finn and Robert Hayes, who are both 15 and from Melbourne, Victoria.
Bystander Effect by Eloise Grover, who is 16 and from Belair in South Australia.
We've got Cyberbullying Is Like Being Punched In The Face,
which is a graphic but very cool name for a video, by Ethan Grahek, Ian Arguilles and Jim Hewitt -
I hope I've pronounced those names properly -
and they're both aged 15 and 16 and from Katherine in the Northern Territory.
If I've said your names wrong, then feel free to say my name wrong whenever you please.
Be There by Paige Ford, who is 14 from Adelaide.
She's the youngest of the winning filmmakers, so congratulations.
That's outstanding at 14 to be able to do that.
You Can Be the Difference by Brianne Worth, who is 16 and from Innisfail in Queensland.
And Your Ears And Eyes Aren't Painted On by Grace Griffith,
who is a 16-year-old from Bright in Victoria.
So congratulations to everyone who entered, who was part of it, who looked into it,
who acted in them, everything.
You guys are amazing and you should be very proud.
And an extra congratulations to the winner.
The winners, all seven, hello!
Bye-bye. See ya later.
