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

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

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

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

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.

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