More quotes by Tony Abbott
The thing about social media is that it is anonymous, so it can be much more vitriolic and extreme than normal media and yet it is there for everyone to see. It is kind of like electronic graffiti.

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
There are no factions in the Liberal Party

You try turning up in America without documents, without a visa, without a passport you'll be treated as very, very much illegal.
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
Mates help each other they do not tax each other.
Tony Abbott
I think that it's high time that the Prime Minister stopped making excuses for bad policy and started listening to the forgotten families of Australia.
Tony Abbott
In the era of mobile phones and emails, you're no more out of the loop in China than you are in Sydney.
