Personal Life After Politics
Nearly a decade after Ms Carnell's first marriage was dissolved, on Sunday, 29 July 2007, Carnell and her long-term partner, Ray Kiley, married at a ceremony conducted at Old Parliament House in Canberra. Guests included local and federal politicians (both Labor and Liberal) along with a small crowd of family and friends - including Ms Carnell and Mr Kiley's children and ex-spouses. Also present was the former Canberra Times editor Crispin Hull, and former staff of Prime Minister John Howard's office.

Famous quotes containing the words personal, life and/or politics:
“I leave the governor’s office next week, and with it public life ... [which] has been on the whole a pleasant one. But for ten years and over my salaries have not equalled my expenses, and there has been a feeling of responsibility, a lack of independence, and a necessary neglect of my family and personal interests and comfort, which make the prospect of a change comfortable to think of.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Women are taught that their main goal in life is to serve others—first men, and later, children. This prescription leads to enormous problems, for it is supposed to be carried out as if women did not have needs of their own, as if one could serve others without simultaneously attending to one’s own interests and desires. Carried to its “perfection,” it produces the martyr syndrome or the smothering wife and mother.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“Politics begin where the masses are, not where there are thousands, but where there are millions, that is where serious politics begin.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
