00:00I look forward to engaging. We're going to try and slow the pace a little bit. Over coming days,
00:08I'll consult with colleagues about forming a front bench down the track.
00:17There are a number of results that are unclear in electorates, but it's very clear that we will
00:25have a substantial majority in the House of Representatives. I'll make this point. We had
00:31a majority last time in the House of Representatives. I treated people with respect. My door is open
00:37to members of any political party or none who are elected as members of the House of Representatives
00:45or the Senate. They all deserve to be treated with respect. If people have good ideas, we're up for
00:52hearing them. But I said here on about 3,422 occasions that my objective was forming a majority
01:03government. That's what we did. And that is a good thing, I think, for the country.
