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.

Well goodness knows, goodness knows what historians will write.

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.

So this is all part of a free society. People are entitled to hold whatever view they want, and the media can report things how they wish.

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.

My father had the same name as me but he was known as Alec. He was a member of the House of Representatives.

I think any good government will target on the finishing date, that is, the polling day and make sure that their strategy is strong and in place to get them successfully re-elected.
