Mr Howard's Problem Is For So Long

No Diplomatic Intervention Will Ever Be Made By Any Government That I Lead In Support Of Any Individual Terrorist's Life. We Have Only Indicated In The Past, And Will Maintain A Policy In The Future, Of Intervening Diplomatically In Support Of Australian Nationals Who Face Capital Sentences Abroad.

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'm Out There Arguing The Labor Case. I Will Do It Anywhere And Everywhere That I Can. I Do It Within Various Communities Across Australia Where I Am Able To Make A Positive Contribution. And Let Me Tell You, My Voice Won't Be Silenced In The Public Debate Because The Issue At Stake For Australia Are So Stark.

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

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