I don’t think someone’s private Christian faith should be an impediment for them to serve in public life. That issue has been settled. And ultimately, as a premier of NSW, I will serve every single person. I think that my faith has served me well in doing that and I believe in the principles of freedom and tolerance and I love the diversity and the multicultural, multi-faith state that we have in NSW.
As treasurer, I’m very proud of my record when it comes to women’s issues in the state. I mean, earlier this year in the budget, we put out for the first time a package for our public servants for miscarriage leave, for premature birth leave. These were nation-leading, world-leading policies in our state. I’m passionate about every single person in New South Wales. I love our state. I love its diversity and I’m here to serve every single person right across NSW.
