My strong pitch is that under the Liberal National government you'll have stronger, better future.
— Gladys Berejiklian
The overwhelming message I was getting is that people were sick of politicians fighting amongst themselves and sick of the perception that politicians were in it for themselves and not the community.
The relocated Powerhouse Museum in Parramatta will be the anchor for arts and culture for the region, and now the site for the museum is locked in.
We are a government that does its homework and listens to the public.
I accept you need the right balance, people do need to know their privacy is protected, but when it's essential information which will be dealt with by security agencies... I do feel the public interest overrides that.
Whether it is a hard or soft Brexit, there are opportunities here for us to be had.
Children are there to go to school and I absolutely support their rights to have views about the world and I absolutely support them expressing themselves, but not during school.
You cannot treat Sydney the same as the rest of the state.
My father was a welder on the second-highest sail, so the Opera House has a special place in my heart.
I don't deal with hypotheticals.
People don't like to see politicians focused on themselves, we know that.
I am someone who will listen and someone who has an open mind.
I want to pay tribute to the teachers who, during my life at school in the public education system, saw something in me and encouraged it.
My parents gave us a strong sense of civic responsibility.
I count calories and watch my carbs.
Sydney CBD is the eastern city, Parramatta is the central city and Badgerys will be the third city in greater Sydney.
I try and live my life simply and purely.
When the government says we're going to build something on behalf of the community, we do it.
I want the people of Wagga to know that my government will work hard across NSW, but especially in that region, to win back the trust that we have clearly lost.
Look at me - I'm the daughter of migrants and I certainly felt on the ground very early on in my premiership that people did warm to me.
This is 2017, nobody should be sleeping in a tent on the concrete in the middle of Martin Place - it's not safe for them.
I hear what people have said about what they want to see the Opera House used for and what they don't want to see it used for.
For the states that take the lead on reform - asset recycling, deregulation, service innovation - the Federal Government could step back, and allow greater flexibility in how we deliver our responsibilities.
Some days in the office are easier than others.
What is really important for us in Sydney is to make sure every community is treated the same.
If you give government five things to do, we might do two or three but if you give us three things to do, we'll do all three.
I am very open to looking at potential tax changes to improve housing affordability.
People don't like to see instability.
I want every person in New South Wales, no matter where they live, to feel that they have the choices and the opportunities to be their best.
Having a police presence on public transport is vital to ensuring customers are safe.
It took me a while to learn how to spell my own name.
It's distressing to see anyone in the community struggle to access public transport - whether they're elderly, customers with a disability or families with prams.
Our message in NSW is government don't need to run businesses that are out of date when the private sector can do that better.
I don't like hair spray in my hair.
Of course Labor think it's a choice between schools, hospitals or stadiums - because they were so incompetent they couldn't manage the budget so they never had the opportunity to build like we have.
The new Powerhouse in Parramatta will be bigger and better than anything this state has seen.
I'm incredibly proud of the fact that my government has worked closely with communities of all different backgrounds.
The community spoke loudly and clearly and said, 'You need to protect prime agricultural land, you need to protect our water catchments,' and that's exactly what we've done.
The Opera House guidelines have from time to time been amended, whether it's for other sporting events or other causes. The guidelines have always been stretched in the part and the commercialisation of the Opera House has always been there.
The people of NSW should not continue to be held hostage to a lowest common denominator approach that privileges the parochial interests of small populations.
In Sydney, it's not sustainable to have 41 council entities.
I've been in public office now 14 years, I've been a senior minister for six. There's pretty much a fair bit out there about the kind of person I am and how I apply myself to the job.
NSW is always guided by the experts. It's not for politicians to decide how we manage hazard reduction or back burning operations.
The average person that lives in Sydney, if they want to buy a house in Sydney, that shouldn't be out of reach for them.
The states have never had a voice when it comes to immigration or population policy. I think that needs to change.
I strongly believe supply is the best way to address housing affordability.
We value integrity of information, we value processes, cyber- security. These are things important to the government.
I am a strong believer in small government that doesn't interfere in people's lives.
For me, when you're standing in Parramatta you'll be looking to the west for the best jobs, not necessarily the east.
You don't know how long you have in public life... I want to make the best of it while I've got the role.
