00:00Now, like many people in their 50s, I've started to think about what comes next.
00:07I have a choice, which I've discussed with the Prime Minister.
00:11To seek more terms in Parliament or step into a new career while I'm relatively young enough
00:18to make that choice and can choose a career consistent with my ideals about ensuring that
00:27people can fulfil their potential.
00:30Core to the future of Australia is ensuring our nation can choose its own path.

00:41choosing lifelong knowledge acquisition.

01:01no other method can, and universities have a critical role to play.
