Tony Abbott
When politicians complain about the media, it strikes me as resembling footballers complaining about the umpire.
Tony Abbott
We are going to be a government of no surprises and no excuses a government which keeps its commitments and a government which is straight and candid with the Australian people and that's what we intend to do.
Tony Abbott

Tony Abbott
Like the Governor-General, when asked what you enjoy most about the job my tendency is to say today, because of the insights you get into our nation and because of the privileged contact you have with so many people.
Tony Abbott
Every prime minister has a whole series of networks, and there are official formal networks and there are unofficial informal networks. I'm lucky in that I have good official formal networks, starting with my own office, the leadership group, the cabinet and the party room.
Tony Abbott
Australia will take more refugees from Syria in response to the growing international crisis but it will not increase the total number of asylum seekers it accepts.
Tony Abbott
