I don't think that my particular religious convictions should be held against me in this campaign any more than the Prime Minister's lack of convictions should be held against her.

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.

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
Image
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.

Most of the people who are coming to Australia by boat have passed through several countries on the way, and if they simply wanted asylum they could have claimed that in any of the countries through which they'd passed.

Mates help each other they do not tax each other.

Western civilisation came to this country in 1788 and I'm proud of that...

If people are going to do things which have certain consequences that they would rather avoid, they should do whatever they need to avoid the consequences.

There may not be a great job for [Aboriginal people] but whatever there is, they just have to do it, and if it’s picking up rubbish around the community, it just has to be done.
