More quotes by Tony Abbott
Well, I'm not saying that an emissions tax is ever going to be good policy.
Tony Abbott
I'm focused on doing the job the treasurer should do.I don't respond to gossip.
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
What I would like to see is sufficiently good education and health services being delivered to Aboriginal people so that they are prepared and ready to leave and join the economic mainstream if that's their choice.
Tony Abbott
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. If you want work-life balance you just have to accept that you can't be a senior member of a government, or for that matter a senior member of an opposition.
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 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
The the relationship between the prime minister and the monarch is very much a personal one and when it comes to the constitution of the Order of Australia, which is headed by the monarch, this is governed by letters patent, which are a matter between the prime minister and the monarch.
Tony Abbott
I think it's time for the Prime Minister to stop making excuses and to start governing.
Tony Abbott
We are sticking with the plan. We have a plan to get taxes down, to get regulation down, to get productivity up, to create jobs, to reduce taxes, to boost prosperity. The plan is working and we are sticking with it.
Tony Abbott
I think I would say to my daughters if they were to ask me this question... it [their virginity] is the greatest gift that you can give someone, the ultimate gift of giving and don't give it to someone lightly, that's what I would say.
Tony Abbott
I was pointing out the depth of the friendship between Australia and Indonesia and the fact that Australia has been there for Indonesia when Indonesia has been in difficulty.
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 would not want to see any relaxation of the law prohibiting human cloning.
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
There is much to be said for an emissions trading scheme. It was, after all, the mechanism for emission reduction ultimately chosen by the Howard government.
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
If you want to put a price on carbon why not just do it with a simple tax?
Tony Abbott
There are no factions in the Liberal Party
