Must become through?

1)The principles of professional conduct must become through consistent application in the face of obstacles?
Does it mean "The principles of professional conduct must be observed by the doctor's consistent application in the situation of difficulty?"
2) Does "as received on trust" mean "because all citizens trust us and give us the authority to spend the money"?

Context:

Professor Faunce said it was important the public was protected and ordered the doctor to reflect on his behaviour.
"The principles of professional conduct must become through consistent application in the face of obstacles, a cherished part of a medical practitioner's character," he said.
He also warned him to take the Medicare system more seriously.
"Public funds made available to medical practitioners in Australia through schemes such as Medicare, should be respected as received on trust from the collective resources of all citizens in this country," he said.
"On these terms I support the [doctor's] return to practise."

NL888 "The principles of professional conduct must become through consistent application in the face of obstacles, a cherished part of a medical practitioner's character," There should either be no comma at all in that sentence ot, preferably, a comma after 'become' and one after 'obstacles'. The sentence then becomes: The principles of professional conduct must become , through consistent application in the face of obstacles , a cherished part of a medical practitioner's character
