Well goodness knows, goodness knows what historians will write.

Well people often ask me how I felt growing up with a father who was a politician and who was often away. But when I'm asked that question I often reflect on my inability really to be able to answer it in any relative sense because I never grew up with a father doing anything else. So I just have no idea what it would be like otherwise.

If people are concerned about my house and where I live again it's much more of a reflection on them than it is on me.

Yeah, well I'm not aspiring to be the Prime Minister.

I'm not terribly focused on whether I even could ever become the Leader of the Liberal Party or the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party in the future.

I hate to spoil my own prospects, but I really don't respect the kiss-and-tell approach to public life at all, not at all.

Yes, I don't think I shall ever become Prime Minister. Hard as that is to swallow, I tell you one person who is very happy always to see me say that, and that's my wife.
