There Are Some Things That Can't Be

I Know Reform Is Never Easy. But I Know Reform Is Right.

Over The Christmas Period, I Spent Time With Both Bob Hawke And Paul Keating, And You Listen To Stories And Tales Of How Hard It Can Be When It's Really Hard, And I Think We Easily All Talk Ourselves Into The Proposition That It's Never Been As Hard As This. Well It's Been Hard In The Past. It's Been Really Hard. So You Keep Doing It And, The More You Do It, The More You Gain Strength And Confidence That You Can Do It.

In Australia, Average Temperatures Have Risen Almost One Degree Since 1910, And Each Decade Since The 1940s Has Been Warmer Than The One Before. That Warming Is Real. Its Consequences Are Real. And It Will Change Our Lives In Real And Practical Ways.

The Caricature Of My Own Face Always Makes Me Laugh.

We Are Constantly Being Told That We've Never Been Wealthier. And Many Of Us Are. On Average We All Are. But That's Just The Problem.. No One Is Average.
