My guiding principle is that prosperity can be shared. We can create wealth together. The global economy is not a zero-sum game.

I'm angry and I understand why Australians paying mortgages are angry.

We are constantly being told that we've never been wealthier. And many of us are. On average we all are. But that's just the problem.. no one is average.

Our nation is well equipped to make the transition. We have an abundance of natural resources like wind, natural gas, solar and geothermal.

Our future growth relies on competitiveness and innovation, skills and productivity... and these in turn rely on the education of our people.

Try harder every day to be better than the day before.

The global economic outlook remains fragile and uncertain. Global economic imbalances persist and we must address them or risk future instability.
