"Finally, to the people of Brindabella, thank you. I will not let you down. When I look
back on my time here, whether it is short or long—whatever is the will of the
people—I hope to have made a difference for the people of Brindabella in Canberra. I
hope to look to my son’s generation and future generations after that and know that
they live in a better place because of what we were able to achieve in this place,
because it is not what we say or think that defines us, but what we do."
