00:00This is a time as well when we speak about our families. To my fiancée, Jodie,

00:10I thank you so much for coming into my life at an unexpected time.

00:16This job would be so much harder to do by myself. She is someone who is not a party political

00:26person. Of course, she was born labourer and will die of labour.

00:33I'm not into mixed marriages.

00:37And of course, she has a red eye and a green eye, also not into mixed marriages.

00:43But Jodie has been thrust in many cases into a public role that she could not have expected

00:51a decade ago or six years ago. She is so well-liked. Everyone from President Macron to

01:01Prime Minister Starmer and others on the international stage asks where she is if she's

01:07working full-time, which is what she does as well. She takes leave without pay to represent Australia.

01:14And I thank her for that. But most importantly, I thank her for what she does for me,

01:23and to make my life so much better.
