Australians Are A Passionate Lot. We Are

The Time Has Now Come For The Nation To Turn A New Page In Australia's History By Righting The Wrongs Of The Past And So Moving Forward With Confidence To The Future. We Apologise For The Laws And Policies Of Successive Parliaments And Governments That Have Inflicted Profound Grief, Suffering And Loss On These Our Fellow Australians.

I've Been Around Long Enough To Not Take Seriously Statements Like I Am About To Be Crushed. I'm About How Do We Seek Re-election Of The Australian Government, How We Prevent Tony Abbott From Being Elected. The Bottom Line Is That It Should Be All Hands To The Pump Rather Than Saying Other, Frankly Negative And Internally Divisive Things.

Of Course I Base All My Election Promises And Policies On Opinion Polls

Education Is Both A Tool Of Social Justice As Well As A Fundamental Driver Of Economic Development.

I Am Deeply Committed To The Cause Of Indigenous Australians, And Not Just Because Of The Apology, But The Big Challenges Which Lie Ahead In Closing The Gap.
