Time for a respectful move, and I know what I gotta do, cause I got everything to prove. I've got a pen I'm sticking to. There's only one thing on my mind, never running out of time. I'm coming through, so get out of the way. I am a woman on a mission, nothing can stop me. I'm stronger than ever. Equality to pursue. The word is out all over town and we don't let it get us down. We are no one's push around, if they can see us now. So people think they know it all, I'm upstanding to show them all, there's only one thing on our minds. Gender equality is on the front line, I won't give up without a fight, cause I can see the finish line, won't stop until I teach you why. So read the writing on the wall, we are ready and upstanding to all. I am a man on a mission, whatever it takes I will do what I gotta do. I am a human on a mission, whatever it takes I will do what I gotta do, stand aside because I am on a mission. I'm on fire with no competition, you can't blame me, I got intuition. Watch out friends, we don't need division. We're not running out of time, we're coming through, so get out of the way. We are united on a mission, nothing can stop us, we're stronger than ever, equity to pursue. Want more change? We don't need commission, think I'm scared? You must be tripping, foot on gas, voice in ignition, can't stop now cause we're on a mission. I am a man on a mission, whatever it takes I will do what I gotta do. What a journey Dr Sandra. I agree, it's just simple though right? Oh, Dr Sandra, we are back on air. Oh yeah we are. Do you like what I've done with my hair? Looks fantastic, it's just hair though right? Let's share what we have with our audience. Professor Poliquet, did you know that we can value and celebrate personal qualities without judgements? I totally agree, be respectful, we are going to call out stereotypes when we see and hear them. That's correct. What a story, so inspiring. Be you, be respectful, safe and responsible. People can achieve their goals and dreams to higher expectations. Yes, the way people can be happier and be themselves. Who needs stereotypes right? Agreed, go and bust those stereotypes. Goodnight Australia, goodnight world.
