00:00It would not have happened without your great work.
00:19Friends, this is Carol's night.
00:21But before I hand the microphone over, I just want to thank you all for all the love and
00:33support that you have given me, but more important, our party, our values, and our bodies.
00:45We've been in first in dark times, but we've climbed the mountain, and we are doing great
00:51things, and I am so proud that the reforms that we introduced in the first term of the
00:57Albanese government are going to be delivered and built upon in the second time.
01:06I'm feeling a little bit shocked.
01:08So as I walk around tonight, you're going to see I'm going to look a bit shocked.
01:12So until I see it come up and it says we've won, and I'm still going to be in a little
01:17bit of disbelief, but I think it's probably looking pretty good.
01:21So I'm so elated, I'm so grateful, and so I can't wait to get started, assuming it all
01:33And, you know, what I stand for, I think probably you've all figured it out.
01:42I stand for people, for community, for the environment.
01:46I care about people, I care about being positive, I care about us creating a future for the next
01:52generation, which is better than the one that we've had.
01:56I care about people that don't have a voice.
01:58So what I am going to bring into the parliament is a voice for the voiceless.
02:02That's why I stand here.
02:04I'm so grateful for the people who are working amongst particularly people with disability
02:17and their families for many years.
02:19And that has taught me so much about humility and grace and kindness.
02:27And so I want that to be part of the story that we tell as a party.
02:32The Labour Party doesn't leave people behind.
02:35We want everyone on the bus.
02:36We're going to make sure everyone's on the bus.
02:38And so I'm so proud to be part of this.
02:42I'm so proud to represent you.
02:44And I'm so proud to represent the Labour Party.
02:47So thank you so much.
