ADDRESS IN REPLY
PARLIAMENT HOUSE, CANBERRA
Tonight, I want to directly address you, the Australian
people.
While it's easy, and understandable, that you should be
pessimistic about this government, everyone should be optimistic
about our country.
Our health researchers have saved hundreds of millions of lives
through breakthroughs in everything from infectious diseases to
cancer vaccines to ulcer treatments.
Our military personnel stand ready to protect people in some of
the world's worst trouble spots.Our universities are educating
the future leaders of our region.Our musicians, artists, actors and
film-makers are making their mark all over the world.Our resource
exports have helped hundreds of millions to move from the third
world to the middle class.
