Extracts from Mark Latham's concession speech:

"Thank you for your support through the course of today and the long campaign in which we've been engaged,"

"A short time ago I spoke to Mr Howard and I congratulated him, his family and the coalition parties on their election victory this evening."

"I'm glad we did that because I know for a fact that so many Labor supporters, Labor voters today felt good about supporting our cause because of the choices and alternatives we put forward,"

"We ran on principle, we ran on our positive beliefs about opportunity in this country and I want to thank the many, many people who voted Labor today ... supporting our policies and supporting us into the future."

"I also want to thank my family, Janine and the boys ... I couldn't do it without their support in the home,"

"I'm a lucky man to be married to Janine and have two beautiful boys.

"My family counts the world to me and I thank them for all their support."

"I've had a lot of people say that we've made the opposition strong and when there is a strong opposition Australian democracy is so much stronger,"

"We'll continue to do that in the coming parliamentary term.

"We'll make sure the government is held to account.''

Mr Latham thanked the nation for engaging in the campaign.

"I thank you ladies and gentleman, I thank the Australian people for the privilege I've had, particularly over the last six weeks,''

"Our democracy is strong because the people were engaged.

"Tonight is not our night, it was not the night that we were hoping for.

"But I've certainly found that the democratic experience is something we all should be grateful for in this country.''

"I'll thank you very much and I'll see you again,''
