And when you hear our political opponents waxing lyrical about the contribution that they have made to higher education, we ought to remember that. The world has changed. It has changed forever and it will go on changing. And whenever I talk to my daughter about her future, the contemplation of the changes that lie ahead of her, of course, are very much in her own mind. There are certain things, of course, that never change.
People never lose their desire to have a sense of personal and physical security.
And one of the things of which I am very proud that I have been able to do in the time that I have been Prime Minister is to bring to the people of Australia, particularly to the women of Australia, a greater sense of physical security because of the uniform prohibition on semi-automatic weapons. Violence and the threat of violence is something that is abhorrent to all of us, absolutely. And there's nothing in my view that unites women's groups in Australia right across the spectrum, whether they are very conservative or rather radical, than an abhorrence of violence and physical violence, physical violence of any kind. Because violence against women and children is absolutely unacceptable in a civilised society. It is something that ought to be campaigned against.
