More quotes by George Brandis
I was President of the Queensland Young Liberals in 1981.
George Brandis
Capricornia there is a particular regional particularity and that is the Adani mine. We know that Adani, the massive Indian coal company, wants to develop the Carmichael mine... And people in Rockhampton know that and they know that the Greens are doing everything they possibly can to prevent the development of the Adani mine.
George Brandis
I think it displayed what the Australia Council does so well, the awarding of artists who at various steps in their career had been encouraged by the Australia Council.
George Brandis
There have been 44 constitutional referenda in Australia and only eight have succeeded.
George Brandis
There always are a basket of issues in any federal election campaign, but in this part of Australia [Capricornia] I can assure you having as you know a fairly frequent visitor to Rockhampton, that the issue of jobs and employment and where the jobs of the future are coming from, is the biggest single issue on people's minds.
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
Michelle Landr is a fabulous member of Parliament. She is a true representative of that community. She's a classic middle-of-the-road Australian who represents the interests of her community with passion and with a lot of common sense.
George Brandis
Bill Shorten should - either knows that or at least he should know it and for him to change the conversation by proposing - by suggesting a proposal significantly more adventurous than where the conversation has been up until now was a very unhelpful intervention.
George Brandis
I think it would be frankly a retrograde thing for Pauline Hanson to be elected to the Senate.
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
I don't really know a lot about these 'anti-protest' laws. I'm only vaguely aware of them, but I don't have enough detailed knowledge about them to comment.
George Brandis
I think it's very, very important that people outside the capital cities, not just Sydney and Melbourne but also Brisbane Perth Adelaide and so on, have the greatest access to the best cultural experiences they can in both the performing arts and the visual arts.
George Brandis
I am the enemy of anything parochial.
George Brandis
If there were to be a Labor-Greens government, that would be the end of the Adani mine, that would be the end of coal mining in central Queensland, and that would be the end of their best shot at economic prosperity in the future.
George Brandis
I think the cultural programming on the ABC is one of the glories of the ABC.
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.
George Brandis
The political bug first bit me was Malcolm Fraser's resignation from the Gorton Government.
George Brandis
I was interested in politics since the age of 14.
George Brandis
It is a necessary precondition for the success of a referendum that there should be broad community consensus and bipartisan support for it.
George Brandis
Capricornia is one of the most marginal seats in the country. So naturally the electoral battle is fought in the marginal seats.
