To have the opportunity to lead the Solicitor General's office is the honor of a lifetime.

Every picture has been a learning opportunity for me.

Labor, under their current leadership, want to be the Downtown Abbey party when it comes to educational opportunity. They think working class children should stick to the station in life they were born into - they should be happy to be recognized for being good with their hands and not presume to get above themselves.

I think the most important thing... is leadership. It's something that has been lacking in young women and girls for a very long time, not because we don't want to but because of what society has labeled women to be.

It is the responsibility of leadership to provide opportunity, and the responsibility of individuals to contribute.
