I've decided to lead in a way that takes people with me. It's the approach that I think will stand not only our party but also our state in good stead.

I think there is a case for strong action and intervention when there is criminality and when the leaders are corrupt or behaving in a criminal fashion.

If we wish our state's growth to continue, then our future will increasingly be with industries that require a highly skilled and technically proficient workforce.

I would like to give evidence we can lead. And I think the only way we can do that is to unify the diversity of the party.

I believe that investing in our children's development from the earliest age is the single most important contribution we can make to the health and wellbeing of our citizens, their capacity and the future prosperity of our state.

I think that my past stands me in good stead in that it does have a certain strength for musicians.
