I think that political marriages are subject to more strain than most precisely because of the nature of politics.

There will be no surprises and no excuses from a Coalition government, Barrie.

There will be no surprises, there will be no excuses, we will do what we've said we will do.

I try to treat people as people and not put them in pigeonholes.

And a government that accepts that it will be judged more by its deeds than by its mere words.

There'll be some savings from preventing double dipping by public servants which are currently able to access not one but two fully tax payer funded schemes and of course there will be out paid parental leave levy. So all up not only is this an important economic reform, an important reform to have to grow our economy more strongly, it also will leave the budget better off which will help us fix the mess that Labor has created with the budget.

I instinctively try to protect people from filth.
