More quotes by 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
Political parties don't work when people just announce what they are doing and expect everyone else to follow.
Tony Abbott
The measure in the budget in relation to parental leave pay is based on a simple proposition. Most women across Australia have access to one scheme funded by the taxpayer. Some women have access to two schemes and that's great.
Tony Abbott
Another big problem with any Australian emissions reduction scheme is that it would not make a material difference to atmospheric carbon concentrations unless the big international polluters had similar schemes.
Tony Abbott
Look, good government doesn't look for excuses, good government gets on with the job.
Tony Abbott
No cuts to health , no cuts to education, no cuts to pensions.
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
Well, Michael, we will be telling the people of Australia in good time before the next election exactly what they can expect from us. No surprises, no excuses. They will be our watch words going into the election and afterwards, should we form a government.
Tony Abbott
Mates help each other they do not tax each other.
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
What I would like to see is sufficiently good education and health services being delivered to Aboriginal people so that they are prepared and ready to leave and join the economic mainstream if that's their choice.
Tony Abbott
Voluntary paid maternity leave: yes compulsory paid maternity leave: over this Government’s dead body, frankly. It just won’t happen.
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
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
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
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
I try to treat people as people and not put them in pigeonholes.
Tony Abbott
Middle income families with children are Australia’s new poor
Tony Abbott
Taxes will always be lower under a Coalition government
Tony Abbott
Well, I'm not saying that an emissions tax is ever going to be good policy.
