More quotes by Tony Abbott
We accept that sometimes in difficult circumstances, difficult things happen.
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
A government that says what it means, and means what it says.
Tony Abbott
I have close family members as well as lots of close friends who are gay. Many of them strongly support gay marriage.
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 want to run a government, Barnaby wants to be part of a government, which is characterized by the motto if you like, no surprises, no excuses. That will be the motto of an incoming Coalition government. No surprises, no excuses.
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.

What the housewives of Australia need to understand as they do the ironing is that if they get it done commercially it’s going to go up in price and their own power bills when they switch the iron on are going to go up.
Tony Abbott
We are naturally reluctant as a peace-loving people to reach out to far-away conflicts but, as we know, this conflict has been reaching out to us for months now.
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
We just can’t stop people from being homeless if that’s their choice.
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
I am in favour of the notion of Australia as an immigrant society
Tony Abbott
We shouldn't be willy-nilly creating potential human life just to satisfy the urges of the scientific community.
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
People who have put money aside on the basis of a certain set of rules shouldn't have that money raided just because government has got a problem.
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
Australia would play its role in taking displaced people from the Syrian conflict.
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
I think it's time for the Prime Minister to stop making excuses and to start governing.
Tony Abbott
