I want to thank everyone for their continuing support of me, as just demonstrated in our Labor Party meeting.
I accept their continuing support of me as prime minister and Labor leader with a sense of deep humility and a sense of resolve.
A clear winner in a competition that had much more in common with a game of pass the parcel than a leadership challenge. Mr Rudd didn’t have the numbers, but was he looking for them? Julia and friends have written the script for the Coalition, a script that would challenge One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest. The much vaunted future leader, Bill Shorten, is in no hurry to lead the party to a wipeout. Any volunteers step forward … and Caucus stepped back.
The government has a plan for the nation’s future.
We have plenty of work to be getting on with, and we will be getting on with it in a few minutes’ time.
… just as soon as I find somewhere to put this parcel.
