Ceremony details

Former Countdown host and music commentator Molly Meldrum provided one of the longest speeches in ARIA history upon accepting his Special Achievement Award.[4][5] At the 1991 ceremony Gary Morris, manager for Midnight Oil, had provided a 20-minute acceptance speech.[5][6] Meldrum had publicly disapproved of Morris' speech both its content and excessive length—they had also had a shouting match at the ARIAs in 1988.[6][7] Music journalist, Anthony O'Grady, described Meldrum's 1993 speech, "[he] reeled off some 50 names starting with Ronnie Burns and Ronnie's Aunt Edna [Edna is Burns' mother], ending with a dedication to his adopted son Morgan. The speech contained a classic line describing his time as a mimer in Kommotion: 'I can't mime and I can't talk properly yet'."[4]
