• 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.

Australia must be governed by the people, not by the factions.

• Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives.
