I want to make it clear that I do not judge or condemn any woman who has had an abortion, but every abortion is a tragedy and up to 100,000 abortions a year is this generation's legacy of unutterable shame.

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

Every prime minister has a whole series of networks, and there are official formal networks and there are unofficial informal networks. I'm lucky in that I have good official formal networks, starting with my own office, the leadership group, the cabinet and the party room.

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

A government that says what it means, and means what it says.

The problem with the Australian practice of abortion is that an objectively grave matter has been reduced to a question of the mother’s convenience.

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