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

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.

You cannot afford a world with slavery, which literally takes someone and turns them into a machine.

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.

Get out of bed, go to school, stick at school. Make it happen for yourself because those opportunities are waiting.

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.

What I would say is governments need assistance to run their organisations more efficiently just like businesses do.
