I am hopeful that one day I will meet that right man and will have a very happy life partner.
From Lara Giddings
There will always be excuses, arguments, and questions of timing when moving on difficult and controversial issues.
The role of Premier is not one that should be taken lightly, nor is it a personal trophy.
For some reason, men in politics seem to have a bunch of charisma, and women drop around their feet. I haven't noticed that so much for me and men.
I'm an ordinary Tasmanian like everybody else, and I have weight issues; I have issues around finding the time to do the exercise and things, but in my role as Health Minister, and in my role as myself as well, I have to look after my own health.
I am just as ordinary as anyone else, and I also have my problems, but I also am responsible for my own health. So I'll be on that exercise bike, I'll be out there walking and try to improve my health and diet as much as I'm expecting of other Tasmanians.
Being Premier is a 24/7 job, so it doesn't create many spaces in order to be able to build relationships.
I'm human. I'm a person. I would love to be in a relationship with a man. I would love to find the right man; I think that's natural - that's what we all want.
The sad thing is that apparently if you want to become the next Premier or the leader, suddenly you've got to shut down your human side.
Tasmania needs a watchdog, not a lap dog.
