Of Course I Base All My Election

We Are Moving Toward Recognition Of The First Australians In The Australian Constitution.

I Conclude Where I Began, I Was Elected By The People Of Australia To Do A Job. I Was Not Elected By The Factional Leaders Of Australia, Of The Australian Labor Party To Do A Job - Though They May Be Seeking To Do A Job On Me, That's A Separate Matter. The Challenge Therefore Is To Honour The Mandate Given To Me By The Australian People.

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.

It Is A High Honour To Be Elected Prime Minister Of Australia.

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.
