00:00I will lead from the front and the first thing I can say to you which I hope makes it
00:05feel a little different is that for as long as I'm here and as long as this government is in
00:12position this will be permanent. This isn't an initiative that you're used to seeing that comes and goes and then
00:20you're left thinking what was all that about. This is a permanent drive similar to the one we saw in
