The fact is that I'm interested in getting on with my job of holding the Government to account and I think that the Government should get on with the job of effectively running the country and not making excuses for poor performance, not lowering expectations. Their job is to deliver on their election commitments.

Tony Abbott
Image
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.

I try to treat people as people and not put them in pigeonholes.
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.
