I stand here today as the first woman first minister of our country. Every day I hold this office, I will work to ensure that every woman, every wee girl across this country, gets a chance to do what I've done and follow their dream.

I have an office in Argentina, I go there every day, so I work.

Plan your work for today and every day, then work your plan.

As First Minister, I will always act in the best interests of the country. As party leader, I will always act in the best interests of the party, and if that sometimes means taking difficult, unpalatable decisions, I will never shy away from that.

I was very proud, on just my second day in office, to appoint a gender-balanced cabinet - one of only three in the developed world.

Every day I went to work at Tampa, I gave it my all.
