John Howard's Credibility On The Entire Iraq

I Am Determined To Honour The Confidence Which Has Been Extended To Us By The People Of Our Great Land. And I Say To All Of Those Who Have Voted For Us Today, I Say To Each And Every One Of Them That I Will Be A Prime Minister For All Australians.

I Just Don't Really Get Into All That Sort Of Personal Negative Stuff. My Job Is To Outline Some Positive Plans For The Country's Future And Perhaps Mr. Howard And The Government Don't Like The Fact That I'm Putting Out Some Positive Alternatives. What's Their Preference.. For Me To Be A Negative Carping Opposition Leader?

We Are So Fortunate, As Australians, To Have Among Us The Oldest Continuing Cultures In Human History. Cultures That Link Our Nation With Deepest Antiquity. We Have Aboriginal Rock Art In The Kimberley That Is As Ancient As The Great Palaeolithic Cave Paintings At Altamira And Lascaux In Europe.

As You Know, The Australian Labour Party Is Committed To Turning The Country Into A Republic. We've Not Stipulated A Timeline For Doing That. We Are Sensitive To The Other Priorities We've Got As A Nation And In The World, But In Time The Country Will Head In That Direction.

Something My Mum Taught Me Years And Years And Years Ago, Is Life's Just Too Short To Carry Around A Great Bucket-load Of Anger And Resentment And Bitterness And Hatreds And All That Sort Of Stuff.
