00:00 I know it'll be difficult. It's been difficult already along the way.
00:02 It'll be even more difficult in the final weeks and months into the general
00:06 election and even more difficult in government because government is always
00:10 more difficult than opposition. I'm not daunted by that.
00:12 My only concern is about my family.
00:16 I've always been concerned about them.
00:18 I've got a wife who has her own life
00:22 and I need to ensure that she can live her life in the way that she wants to.
00:27 I've got two children. I've got a 15 year old boy.
00:30 And a 12 year old girl.
00:31 And my biggest concern is about the only concern I have going forward is
00:36 asking myself over and over again, particularly at the moment,
00:40 how do I protect them as we go into this?
00:43 Why do you say particularly at the moment?
00:45 Because, you know, there's been intense pressure, I think,
00:49 on lots of us in the last few weeks.
00:52 These are some of the colleague discussions I was having with colleagues
00:55 on Wednesday, because in addition to the emotional turmoil
00:59 that those people are going through, some of them rebelled.
01:02 But they're good people trying to deal with a very difficult situation.
01:07 On top of all that.
