Well, I'm not saying that an emissions tax is ever going to be good policy.

I think it would be folly to expect that women will ever dominate or even approach equal representation in a large number of areas simply because their aptitudes, abilities and interests are different for physiological reasons.

Even potential human life needs to be treated with great respect.

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

I think anything which improves services is in principle a good thing.

I think that the best things that governments can do for productivity is not whack on new taxes and, if we can get institutions like schools and hospitals functioning better, well that's obviously good for the overall productiveness of our society.

I don't bring religion into the square.
