Olivia guests on Rove's show for the second time in 2002. They talk about the ARIA Awards which Rove hosted. After Rove had congratulated Olivia on her ARIA Award Olivia, in her typical style, congratulated him back on his fantastic job as the host. Rove was curious about her chat with Kylie Minogue at the Awards, they chatted about their schedules and Australia in general but didn't mention the reports that Kylie was going to star in Grease 3.
The highlight is the presentation of Olivia's gold record for her new duet album "2."
Olivia spoke about her recent trip to the Melbourne Cup where she took the advice of journalist and placed a $12 bet on the number 2 horse (after the name of her album). The horse won!

Olivia was inducted into the Australian Hall of Fame at the ARIA Awards in October 2002. Her friend musician Billy Thorpe inducted her and also had honour of holding the award whilst Olivia read her speech. Of course she was over the moon to be recognized for her musical talent in her home country.
She gave a very moving speech thanking all the Australians who'd helped her through her career and life. She began with thanking her Teacher Mr Hogan "Thank you Sir" from University High who advised a 15 year old Olivia to follow her dream. She thanked the Sol 4 girls (her first group); Ian Turpie (for playing guitar and friendship); John and Pat Farrar; Steve Kipner (wrote Physical) and Roger Davis. She thanked the "Three Peters in my life": Peter Allen; Peter Gormley (her first manager); Peter Heabes (?- travelled with her in the early days).

She thanked  sister Rona who had chaperoned her "which is kind of funny really," and her dad. Her mother Irene, who was there in the audience, received a round of applause. The camera focused on daughter Chloe and Olivia's boyfriend Patrick clapping and looking very proud (in her speech she referred to Patrick as "my special man").
Ending  with "I love you Australia" her speech went down a treat. The ceremony also had a nice 5 minute introduction showing Olivia clips throughout her career although it was written from a very American perspective.

For the first time Olivia headlined Australian's Carols By Candlelight, an outdoor concert at Melbourne's Sidney Myer Music Bowl, held every Christmas Eve. It's also broadcast live on Australian TV and radio and watching it has become a Christmas Eve tradition for most Australians. Organized by the Royal Victorian Institute for the Blind (RVIB) it brings together a wealth of Australian talent to perform carols. The 2000 concert was considered one of the best with organizer Cos Cardone commenting: "Securing Olivia has been a long journey....but worth every minute. Her coming home to sing Carols for the first time is a great highlight" The concert also featured co-Olympic performers Tina Arena, Vanessa Amorosi and Julie Anthony.

Olivia opened the concert with Hark The Herald Angels Sing dressed in a lovely gold gown accompanied by a full orchestra. Thanking the audience she said how great it was to be back in her home town of Melbourne. She said hi to her mom watching at home and waved to other members of her family who were actually in the audience. Olivia then introduced the host and personal friend Ray Martin. Ray, commenting on how great Olivia looked, wanted to know what pills she was on. Olivia giggled "I don't think you need them." Olivia returned later to sing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas and then accompanied by Stuart Fraser on guitar, sang the favourite Silent Night. The choir joined in with her for the end chorus - lovely. The outdoor venue meant the sound wasn't perfect but the atmosphere more than made for that. The concert ended with Olivia leading all the performers singing So This Is Christmas, followed by a medley of Christmas carols.
