You remove heavy metals out of the ground and you turn that into tables, and houses and bridges and dreams for people in the developing world. I love doing that.

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

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.

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

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

I dont necessarily go to church every week, but I am a Christian, and I believe in God and Jesus Christ.

When youre asked/told to come to Canberra by your Prime Minister, in the country I grow up in, you obey that.
