Gratitude and hope have always sustained me, and they always will. The votes are in, and I didn’t quite get there. I want to congratulate Gabriel Ng on his election. To my family, thank you for your love, patience, and strength. To have Sarah, Leo, Eva, Mum, and Dad with me means everything. To my staff, thank you for your dedication and integrity. To our volunteers, thank you for every early morning, every conversation, and every moment you gave to this cause. And to the people of Menzies, thank you for the privilege of serving you—it truly has been the honour of my life. The Liberal Party is an institution of democracy, founded on values worth fighting for. It will recover, and I will be there to help. That is why I still believe Australia’s best days are ahead. With all my heart, thank you.

“I believe in democratising prosperity & democratising power… so that the accident of birth will never be the dominant factor in whether a person makes it or not”. A brilliant first speech of what I’m sure will be one of many by @keithwolahan#auspol#AusPol2022
@leighsales You have always been utterly objective. Sadly not as common as it should be. You’ll be missed @leighsales… a special mention also to @_JustinStevens_ for all you’ve done to guide the show with Leigh!
@pamurrell I hope Rod Barton got something out of it. Last time I checked… the state gov. Wouldn’t even give empty taxis travelling on the $bn Westgate project, a tolling concession. He will need something solid to justify a monumental 🤸♀️
@ETU_national Only a thuggish union like the ETU could create an ad which is this insensitive for the families of those who have been killed on Australian roads. Predictably appalling content. #auspol
