Certainly we know from our own experience how very difficult it is when you've lost an election that perhaps a lot of people were expecting you to win.

The accusation that we've lost our soul resonates with a very modern concern about authenticity.

So there clearly is a sense in which the Labour Party here, certainly at State level is reaching out and connecting with people and reflecting the aspirations and needs of, you know the mass of ordinary Australians.

We are certainly expecting to see new fundraising records set this election cycle.

And it seems to me in that experience may lie at least some of the clues for policy development perhaps constitutional changes as well that Labour will need to make at the national level too.

The 2 million people who work in the NHS and social care are also themselves patients and users. I know they all want to treat patients and users the way they and their families would want to be treated and that is the purpose of our reforms.
