In Your Telephone Call, You [malcolm Turnbull]said

As You Know, The Australian Labour Party Is Committed To Turning The Country Into A Republic. We've Not Stipulated A Timeline For Doing That. We Are Sensitive To The Other Priorities We've Got As A Nation And In The World, But In Time The Country Will Head In That Direction.

If Australia Wants An Effective United Nations, We Have To Be Comprehensively, Not Marginally, Engaged.

We Have Seen This Complete Right Wing Takeover Of Modern Liberalism, And It Is An Ugly Spectacle To Behold.

My Task, As A Member Of This Parliament And A 30-year Member Of The Australian Labor Party, As Its Former Leader, As Its Former Foreign Minister And Its Former Prime Minister, Is To Now Throw My Every Effort In Securing Julia Gillard's Re-election As Labor Prime Minister At The Next Election.

I Was Elected By The People Of Australia As Prime Minister Of Australia. I Was Elected To Do A Job, I Intend To Continue Doing That Job. I Intend To Continue Doing It To The Absolute Best Of My Ability. Part Of That Job Has Been To Steer This Country Through The Worst Economic Crisis The World Has Seen In 75 Years.
