Seated beside real estate mogul John McGrath, Harris shared a story about her late mother's views on women’s health, delivering a statement that many found difficult to follow.

"My mother was actually very funny because she would say, 'You look at the cover of Playboy magazine, let me just tell you, the reason that people are looking at these things, understand what they were developed for the perpetuation of the human species!' She was very practical that way," Harris said.

Later in the event, Harris gave an extended commentary on humility and ambition, which added to the confusion over her communication style. She began one response by stating, "I don't aspire to be humble. And I don't recommend it, I think that one must be humble. But to aspire to be humble would be quite inauthentic."

In an attempt to clarify her point, Harris elaborated, "And when you take the moment to just listen to an individual's story, whether it's someone you're sitting next to on the plane or standing in line with at the grocery store, there is so much about this world that we know and we don't know."

According to Sky News Australia, more than 4,000 attendees were screened by security—the strictest measures ever implemented at the conference.

Harris concluded her remarks by praising the human spirit and ambition. "And that is very humbling to realize the dreams that people have, the struggles that they've overcome and the magnificence of that. To realize the beauty of the human spirit, that we are by nature, I think, as a species, we don't give up," she said.

She added, "Part of the key to our survival is that we are adaptable but we are also ambitious. I applaud ambition. I applaud ambition. I think it is a good thing, to reach, but not without also understanding that in so doing, one must do the hard work. One must understand the context in which they exist. One must be respectful."
