More quotes by Tony Abbott
No one, however smart, however well-educated, however experienced, is the suppository of all wisdom.
Tony Abbott
A government that says what it means, and means what it says.
Tony Abbott
I think we've produced a stronger prohibition on real racism, while maintaining freedom of speech in ordinary public discussion. So I'm very comfortable with where we're at. We're not dogmatic or impervious to a further argument, that's why we released it as an exposure draft rather than simply releasing it straight into the parliament.
Tony Abbott
The smart way to improve broadband is not to junk the existing network but to make the most of it. It’s to let a competitive market deliver the speeds that people need at an affordable price with government improving infrastructure in the areas where market competition won’t deliver it.
Tony Abbott
I think anything which improves services is in principle a good thing.
Tony Abbott
I try to treat people as people and not put them in pigeonholes.

Middle income families with children are Australia’s new poor
Tony Abbott
I think that people should come to Australia through the front door, not through the back door. If people want a migration outcome, they should go through the migration channels.
Tony Abbott
The media - and I'm not blaming them - obviously like to seize on the differences between people and, sure, there are some senior members of the government who are in a slightly different philosophical space to mine. But do not underestimate the substantial single-mindedness of this government.
Tony Abbott
I think leadership is knowing what you want to achieve and then purposefully and sensibly taking steps to achieve it, remembering always that you have got to bring people with you if you are seeking to be a successful political leader.
Tony Abbott
Our police, our hard-working police, that our extraordinarily committed and dedicated military personnel, I'm really pleased that they are getting a good paid parental leave scheme.
Tony Abbott
Taxes will always be lower under a Coalition government
Tony Abbott
I don't think it's a very Christian thing to come in by the back door rather than the front door.
Tony Abbott
There is one fundamental message that we want to go out from this place to every nook and cranny of our country: There should be no new tax collection without an election.
Tony Abbott
I'm not running for canonisation.
Tony Abbott
If you want to put a price on carbon why not just do it with a simple tax?
Tony Abbott
Part of my role, I suppose, is to run government business in the House of Representatives, and try to ensure that people know exactly what's going on in the Chamber is an important part of that.
