John Howard Has Gone A Bridge Too

Australians Are A Passionate Lot. We Are Also A Very Practical Lot.

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 Was Elected By The Australian People To Bring Back A Fair Go For All Australians. I Have Given My Absolute Best To Do That.

Compassion Is Not A Dirty Word.. It's Time We Rehabilitated Compassion Into The National Political Vocabulary Of This Great Nation Of Ours.

I Was Elected By The People Of Australia As Prime Minister Of Australia. I Was Elected To Do A Job, I Intend To Continue Doing That Job. I Intend To Continue Doing It To The Absolute Best Of My Ability. Part Of That Job Has Been To Steer This Country Through The Worst Economic Crisis The World Has Seen In 75 Years.
