In Australia’s biggest cities, public transport is generally slow, expensive, not especially reliable and still hideous drain on the public purse. Part of the problem is inefficient, overmanned, union-dominated government run train and bus systems. Mostly though, …there just aren’t enough people wanting to go from a particular place to a particular destination at a particular time to justify any vehicle larger than a car, and cars need roads.

The Australian people expect the Government to govern, they don't expect it to make excuses.

In the era of mobile phones and emails, you're no more out of the loop in China than you are in Sydney.

Coal is good for humanity, coal is good for prosperity, coal is an essential part of our economic future, here in Australia, and right around the world.

We are about getting things done. We are not about the blame game. We are not about making excuses.

When politicians complain about the media, it strikes me as resembling footballers complaining about the umpire.

Climate change is crap.
