George Brandis
I think there has only ever been one member of the Federal Parliament from either side found to have been corrupt in the whole history of Australia. I don't think we should create the architecture to solve a problem which barely exists.
George Brandis
I'm confident as a supporter of same sex marriage, I'm confident that there'll be a yes vote in that plebiscite, and that the parliament will then move very swiftly to implement the will of the people.

George Brandis
There have been 44 constitutional referenda in Australia and only eight have succeeded.
George Brandis
You asked me about Queensland in particular and regional Queensland where our message of jobs and growth is resonating strongly because that's what is on people's mind, and when the election results are in on 2nd July, I'm confident that that message will be translated into the ballot box.
George Brandis
The political bug first bit me was Malcolm Fraser's resignation from the Gorton Government.
George Brandis
I am the enemy of anything parochial.
George Brandis
Well everyone's careers is a series of steps, but being the President of the Young Liberals or the President of a Liberal society at university is an important step in the Liberal Party in terms of being noticed and making your name known.
George Brandis
I think it's important to have a blend just as we need to have by the way a mix of different opera companies and different arts companies.
George Brandis
We have a great literary tradition in Australia. I think the book is very much alive and the more people who are encouraged to read books the better our society will be and the wiser our society will be.
George Brandis
The great works belong to no one nation, no one cultural tradition even. They are universal.
George Brandis
I am a very, very strong advocate of the notion that we shouldn't equate the arts with other aspects of infrastructure. They have a unique role in any civilised society and that requires appropriate and targeted government support.
