The Minister for Veterans Affairs and Minister Assisting the Minister for Defence, Mr Bruce Scott MP, was given a birthday surprise during a visit to HMAS CERBERUS for a graduation parade.

Mr Scott's birthday just happened to be on the same day and CERBERUS XO LCDR Sue Hart couldn't resist celebrating the occasion in traditional style by surprising him with a birthday cake.

Mr Scott was definitely surprised and very grateful to say the least, enjoying the cake with others at the wardroom of CERBERUS.
