More quotes by Tony Abbott
I know politicians are going to be judged on everything they say but sometimes in the heat of discussion you go a little bit further than you would if it was an absolutely calm, considered, prepared, scripted remark. The statements that need to be taken absolutely as gospel truth are those carefully prepared scripted remarks.
Tony Abbott
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.
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
Well, I'm not saying that an emissions tax is ever going to be good policy.
Tony Abbott

Tony Abbott
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.
Tony Abbott
I am a model of positivity compared to the kinds of vitriol, the kinds of destructive criticisms that Labor members of parliament have been making of each other.
Tony Abbott
A bit of body contact never hurt anyone.
Tony Abbott
The only party which is going to increase taxes after the election is the Labor Party.
Tony Abbott
All of the people who are using their BlackBerries or their iPhones, Facebook, all of the people who are sitting in cafes and hotels rooms doing their work, they're all using wireless technology, and we shouldn't assume that the only way of the future is high speed cable.
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 am not being negative, I am simply being factual when I say Kevin Rudd is the best friend the people smugglers have ever had
Tony Abbott
Faith is important to me. It's important to millions of Australians. It helps to shape who I am. It helps to shape my values. But it must never, never dictate my politics.
Tony Abbott
There will be no overall increase in the tax burden whatsoever.
Tony Abbott
We are a very like-minded group, the senior members of this government. The outliers are not very far away from the mainstream.
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
A midnight knock on the door followed by execution is no way a leader should be treated.
