I think Australia has to be a country which has the 'Welcome' sign out.

In the end, the key ingredient for public life is imagination. You imagine something better, you try to bring the people with you.

If this Government cannot get the adjustment, get manufacturing going again, and keep moderate wage outcomes and a sensible economic policy, then Australia is basically done for. We will end up being a third rate economy... a banana republic.

You see, before I became prime minister, the Australian prime minister only attended ever two meetings in the world: the British Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting and the South Pacific Forum.

The United States being in Asia is unambiguously a good thing for the region.

If there was a university degree for greed, you cunts would all get first-class honours.

If one takes pride in one's craft, you won't let a good thing die. Risking it through not pushing hard enough is not a humility.
