Quote

I've never been involved in any kind of political movement.

I never had a political power base.

I never expected to be approached for an ad campaign.

I don't often get involved with campaigns at all.

I have never tried to fiddle my role as leader of the city of Sheffield, as an MP or as a minister.

I have never voted in my life.

I never sought nor gained personal benefit in school or job applications based on my heritage.

My goal was never to get re-elected.

I have never declared myself an Indigenous politician; I am not an Indigenous Chief Minister.
