I Think We Have To Keep Working

Begun As A Girl From A Little Country Town In Central Western Queensland, Inspired By Noble Ideas Of Justice, About Fairness, About Making The World A Better Place.

I've Never Owned A Pair Of Jeans, But I Had A Fantastic Denim Boiler-suit And It Got A Lot Of Wearing.

I Think We Have To Keep Working Enormously Hard To See That Every Single Indigenous Child - Every Australian Child - Has True Equality Of Opportunity. Weve Got To Work Harder At It. I Think, You Know, The Heartland Issue For Us Is The Gap; The Gap In Life Expectancy In This Country.

For A Very Long Time Now I've Been Saying To Young Women, 'you Can Have It All, But Not All At The Same Time.' How Important It Is To Take Very Good Care Of Yourself, Of Your Mental And Physical And Spiritual Wellbeing; It's Hard To Do. It's Easier To Be A Workaholic Than To Have A Truly Balanced Life.

When A Woman Is Fit And Healthy, Everything Else Falls Into Place. We Are Conditioned To Put Others First, That 'burnt Chop Syndrome' We Observed In Our Mothers. It Takes Discipline To Pay Attention To Our Diets, To Exercise, To Leave Time For Refreshment Of Mind, Body And Spirit.
