More quotes by Tony Abbott
When politicians complain about the media, it strikes me as resembling footballers complaining about the umpire.
Tony Abbott
If you don't want to work weekends, don't.
Tony Abbott
We will be a consultative, collegial government. No surprises, no excuses. That's what you'll get under the Coalition.
Tony Abbott

The media - and I'm not blaming them - obviously like to seize on the differences between people and, sure, there are some senior members of the government who are in a slightly different philosophical space to mine. But do not underestimate the substantial single-mindedness of this government.
Tony Abbott
We are going to be a government of no surprises and no excuses a government which keeps its commitments and a government which is straight and candid with the Australian people and that's what we intend to do.
Tony Abbott
There will be no surprises and no excuses from a Coalition government, Barrie.
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 it's time for the Prime Minister to stop making excuses and to start governing.
Tony Abbott
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.
