More quotes by Tony Abbott
It is a very heavy responsibility [to be a prime-minister] to make, but someone has to make it for our country and I am thrilled and honoured to have that opportunity and that responsibility.
Tony Abbott
I think that the best things that governments can do for productivity is not whack on new taxes and, if we can get institutions like schools and hospitals functioning better, well that's obviously good for the overall productiveness of our society.
Tony Abbott
When you are challenging the young, they can come back at you with language of tremendous power and they are no respecters of sacred cows, you know, the young. There's nothing politically correct about the average young Australian when it comes to use of language.
Tony Abbott
I think there is no doubt that the advent of 24/7 news channels, which are voracious in their demand for constant new content, has accelerated the political process. The rise of social media, in addition to talkback, I think has intensified the political process.
Tony Abbott
We will act to build a better world. We always have, we always will. We will act to lend a helping hand, not just here but wherever we humanly can.
Tony Abbott
A presumption of any fact is, properly, an inferring of that fact from other facts that are known it is an act of reasoning and much of human knowledge on all subjects is derived from this source.
Tony Abbott
We have already provided a strong humanitarian response to the problems in the Middle East and that response will be stronger within coming days.
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
The only party which is going to increase taxes after the election is the Labor Party.
Tony Abbott
Middle income families with children are Australia’s new poor
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 political process is accelerated and intense in a way that I don't believe it ever really has been before.
Tony Abbott
When the world is in trouble, Australia responds. Australia is a good, global citizen.
Tony Abbott
Oppositions are not there to get legislation through. Oppositions are there to hold the government to account.
Tony Abbott
I am in favour of the notion of Australia as an immigrant society
Tony Abbott
It's very easy for Australians living in big cities to either romanticise or demonise the situation in Aboriginal places - to kind of look at things through the 'noble innocents' prism or through the 'chronically dysfunctional' prism, and I suspect that is so often the case.
Tony Abbott
We are looking at what more we can do. As well as a strong security response we need a strong humanitarian one.
Tony Abbott
No senior politician can expect to have work-life balance. I'm afraid there are some jobs for which work-life balance inevitably goes out the window. If you want work-life balance you just have to accept that you can't be a senior member of a government, or for that matter a senior member of an opposition.
Tony Abbott
I just think that this whole issue of creating potential human life, not to give life, but to give the scientists a bit more of a leg-up, is fraught with danger.
Tony Abbott
The argument [behind climate change] is absolute crap. However, the politics of this are tough for us. Eighty per cent of people believe climate change is a real and present danger.
Tony Abbott
I try to treat people as people and not put them in pigeonholes.
