Australia will take more refugees from Syria in response to the growing international crisis but it will not increase the total number of asylum seekers it accepts.
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
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
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
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
No one, however smart, however well-educated, however experienced, is the suppository of all wisdom.
Tony Abbott
I think there is no doubt that the advent of 24/7 news channels, which are voracious in their demand for constant new content, has accelerated the political process. The rise of social media, in addition to talkback, I think has intensified the political process.
Tony Abbott
The smart way to improve broadband is not to junk the existing network but to make the most of it. It’s to let a competitive market deliver the speeds that people need at an affordable price with government improving infrastructure in the areas where market competition won’t deliver it.
Tony Abbott
I don't think it's a very Christian thing to come in by the back door rather than the front door.
Tony Abbott
The only party which is going to increase taxes after the election is the Labor Party.
Tony Abbott
Part of my role, I suppose, is to run government business in the House of Representatives, and try to ensure that people know exactly what's going on in the Chamber is an important part of that.
Tony Abbott
We will be a consultative, collegial government. No surprises, no excuses. That's what you'll get under the Coalition.
Tony Abbott
More excuses for more failures.
