If elected, I will be an impartial guardian of the law and approach the task without a commitment to any ideological or political agenda. I will bring to the Court experience, expertise and enthusiasm, invaluable attributes at a time when the court has on its docket some of the most difficult and consequential cases.

I will serve not only with intellectual discipline but with empathy, recognising that the legitimacy of the Court rests in part on its ability to understand the concerns of all States, no matter their size.
