00:00 24 years ago, almost to the day when I walked into this place as a much younger woman from

00:07 regional Victoria, I never expected to have this length of service or indeed to be able

00:13 to have had the honour and privilege of serving the Victorian community in various ministerial

00:19 roles under premiers, strong, decisive premiers of Steve Brax, John Brumby and more recently

00:27 Daniel Andrews and then to in turn have the support, unanimous support today from my parliamentary

00:33 colleagues is indeed also a deep privilege and one that I pledge to continue to work
