Communication is the conduit of leadership from the Prime Minister down to the leading hand of a small group of council workers fixing the roads. Leadership uncommunicated is leadership unrequited!

Our vision is to look through the eyes of our kids. We are a lucky, peaceful nation. We are an unselfish people. That's one of our proudest national attributes.

We want our leaders to be fair dinkum, as much among us as above us.

I must say that part of our national wealth is not only the nation's people but those people who lead them.
