I'm really bad, I watch reality TV sometimes - I just think it's the best form of escape.

There are young children out there in our state, that could be Olympic champions at 2032 to think that Melbourne has hosted an Olympics, Sydney has hosted an Olympics, and now Queensland has that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we've got to give it everything we've got.

My first job was at the Inala Plaza selling jewelry; I've seen all sorts of life; I've studied overseas; I've worked hard in my community; I can sit down with anyone from any sort of background and have a chat; I'm involved in community organizations. How do you measure those things?

I never really believe people when they say they have no regrets - mine is not being a mother.

I was the sort of person who wouldn't just bring one friend home after school, I'd bring half a dozen.

I chair cabinet, we have robust debates during cabinet meetings and we actually come to decisions as a consensus. It's very much people are very passionate about different views and everything, but that's what a cabinet should be like.

I think everybody in my government now understands and appreciates that people who work in a whole variety of traditional industries across our state have good, decent jobs.

I'm human just like everyone else.

Let me make it very clear. There are no taxpayer funds going to the Adani mine.
