Anna Bligh Quotes
As we weep for what we have lost, and as we grieve for family and friends and we confront the challenge that is before us, I want us to remember who we are. We are Queenslanders. We're the people that they breed tough, north of the border. We're the ones that they knock down, and we get up again.

If we cannot be contented with a little no wealth will ever satisfy us.
