Everyone in life has those critical moments in their life when they know that something they did or didn't do would affect their future.
In Sydney, it's not sustainable to have 41 council entities.
I want people to feel they are living in good urban environments with greenery and green space.
I am a strong believer in small government that doesn't interfere in people's lives.
I've never made a conscious decision to choose work over other considerations.
We value integrity of information, we value processes, cyber- security. These are things important to the government.
I absolutely will be putting my stamp on this government and my leadership.
People can expect that from me as premier: If there's something to be done, something to be fixed, it'll happen.
I was born in Manly Hospital, I pretty much grew up in my grandmother's house until my parents bought their own home.
For me, being Australian is having the opportunity to be your best. This country, this state, gives us every opportunity we could hope for.
I want to make it very clear from day one that we are a government for everyone.
I think we are smashing it as a government in terms of economic performance and infrastructure spend, but not everybody feels part of that success story.
I've always been very determined to do things my own way and people can expect that from me.
We should return to Howard-era immigration levels in NSW.
I'm the daughter of proud immigrants myself, but it's clear that successive federal governments have allowed the rate of immigration to NSW to balloon out of control.
My government has been playing catch-ups building the schools, hospitals, roads and transport links our state needs to deal with our growing population after years of do-nothing Labor governments.
I've been in public life for long enough that I know you just have to live your life normally.
I'm incredibly proud that no matter where you live in New South Wales, whether in the regions or the city, you're seeing projects come to life and delivered that were only imagined, that were only spoken about by the previous government.
I'm always happy to listen, always happy to consider what the community wants. But there are also times when you make a decision, you stick by your guns because you know it's in the best interests of the community.
I think people expect when you have a new Premier that it's that Premier's prerogative to look at everything on the table and say, 'Well I'm the leader now. What do I want to take forward and what don't I?'
