“Because the time has come, well and truly come, for all peoples of our great country, for all citizens of our great commonwealth, for all Australians - those who are indigenous and those who are not - to come together to reconcile and together build a new future for our nation.”

“I conclude where I began, I was elected by the people of Australia to do a job.

“Australians have more fun. They just do. I guess I should not be surprised by this fact given that this is the place that birthed both Hugh Jackman and Kylie Minogue.”

“Compared to the United States and certainly a lot of other countries around the world... per year, Australians do see more films.”

“I think most Australians would favor what I did. At least I hope they do.”
