of it.

He said if people visited Parliament House, they would appreciate what he was saying.

``It's hard for people to understand because it looks like this almighty place that is a place of power but the majority of time is wasted trying to find negativity in the government of the day when there's not always negativity there,'' Mr Farmer.

``To be honest, there's sometimes very good and valid reasons why the Government is doing what they are.

``I'm not going to spend my whole life being negative because that's not my job.

``My job is being positive and changing people's lives.''

He said he had always liked helping people, whether it be through his work with charities or within politics.

``We've done some incredible things and we continue to do that but not anywhere near the scale that justifies what my potential is to help people,'' he said.

``I think I can do more.''

When asked whether he could do more outside of politics, Mr Farmer said: ``You're not restrained as much outside of politics.''
