I think that young Australians ought to be taking language education much more seriously. I mean, you know, every day I'm meeting people with expertise, ability and talent in fields where I want to learn so much more; science, for example.

I think every day you try to soak up as much as you can to learn and understand things better.

I think there's nothing more amazing than helping people every day.

I think about food literally all day every day. It's a thing.

I think we have to keep working enormously hard to see that every single Indigenous child - every Australian child - has true equality of opportunity. We've got to work harder at it. I think, you know, the heartland issue for us is the gap; the gap in life expectancy in this country.

It always seems the busiest people go to these things. For example, Band Day is always the same day as our first competition. There are a lot of conflicts, and the students often have to find ways to get to the competitions.
