I don't think it's a very Christian thing to come in by the back door rather than the front door.

We are a very like-minded group, the senior members of this government. The outliers are not very far away from the mainstream.

There will be no overall increase in the tax burden whatsoever.

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

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.

More excuses for more failures.

I think that people should come to Australia through the front door, not through the back door. If people want a migration outcome, they should go through the migration channels.
