Id like to see the University of Western Australia and the other four or five universities in Western Australia really excel through having some of the greatest minds in the world attracted to it.

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

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

The most generous part of your philanthropy could be the time you put in to procure the same results and same outcomes and same returns you demand in business.

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.

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

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.
