The price of power.
UPDATE 05/11/12 14:03: Chris Bourke’s statement is no available:
It has been a privilege to serve as a minister in the 7th Assembly, especially as the first Aboriginal Minister in the ACT Government.
I look forward to continuing to represent the people of Belconnen and West Gungahlin in the Ginninderra electorate and working hard for them over the next four years. We must remember the Labor team won every booth in Belconnen in the election.
When a sixth ministry is created, I will be pushing for the opportunity to deliver progressive, evidence-based policy to make Canberra an even better city.
