Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd released on Friday a document detailing his government's achievements in its first 100 days.
The prime minister said the government had made a solid start, but "we still have a long way to go and we intend periodically to report back to the community and to the country along these lines."
Asked how his government had tangibly improved the lives of Australians, Rudd said: "The first thing we have done is taken seriously the implementation of our pre-election commitments. Honoring our pre-election commitments is important in itself."
The booklet covers areas from the economy, education, health, industrial relations and indigenous issues to national security, climate change, the environment and housing affordability.
Rudd promised to report back regularly on progress across all areas of government.
Monday marks 100 days since the November 24 election when Labor won office after more than a decade in opposition.
"We said also we intend to be up-front with the Australian people, that means being up-front about the commitments we made prior to the election, up-front about our implementation of those commitments, up-front in our accountability to the Australian people about what progress we've made, and that's why we've produced this document," Rudd told reporters while releasing a 55-page booklet called "First 100 Days".
