Faith is important to me. It's important to millions of Australians. It helps to shape who I am. It helps to shape my values. But it must never, never dictate my politics.

I am, as you know, hugely unconvinced by the so-called settled science on climate change.

I want to run a government, Barnaby wants to be part of a government, which is characterized by the motto if you like, no surprises, no excuses. That will be the motto of an incoming Coalition government. No surprises, no excuses.

The only party which is going to increase taxes after the election is the Labor Party.

I do enjoy exercise, not because I am an exercise junkie but because it's terrific stress release.

I instinctively try to protect people from filth.

No one, however smart, however well-educated, however experienced, is the suppository of all wisdom.
