Education Is Both A Tool Of Social

Building A New Health And Hospitals Network Is Fundamental To Building A Stronger And Fairer Australia.

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.

It Is Tragic That We Have Lost One Of Our Nation's Finest Actors In The Prime Of His Life. Heath Ledger's Diverse And Challenging Roles Will Be Remembered As Some Of The Great Performances By An Australian Actor.

I Deeply Believe That If The Australian Labor Party, A Party Of Which I Have Been A Proud Member For More Than 30 Years, Is To Have The Best Future For Our Nation, Then It Must Change Fundamentally Its Culture And To End The Power Of Faceless Men. Australia Must Be Governed By The People, Not By The Factions.

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.
