The prime minister's job is to captain his team, his party and his government.
If you asked me if I'd rather be Speaker or a very senior minister, I'd say Speaker.
One consistent thing in an otherwise inconsistent career is that I've always been passionate about parliament.
I think the record shows that as Speaker, I have taken the lead in cleaning up politics.
A legislature cannot be effective while suffering from public scorn.
I don't want to crawl over the entrails of past disputes.
