If you know that something is true and just, and you give up, thats when you fail.

Australia has always encouraged the little bloke to have a go, the Aussie battler to get up.

Im never looking at life in terms of legacy.

You don't try and put rockets under prime ministers.

I don't see why, if you look at how the Australian culture and psyche is, that we can't be amongst the most generous from the grassroots up, nations in the world.

This is the welfare generation, and that is incredibly sad. That will be judged in history as being far worse, I believe, than the stolen generation, because we are literally losing thousands and thousands of our indigenous brothers and sisters to the effects of welfare – drugs, gunja, low morale, alcoholism. I see it everyday and it can stop. The solution is education, training and a guaranteed opportunity.

I would say to young entrepreneurs and budding philanthropists - are you giving to feel good or do good?
