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

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.

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.

Today, we have got more excuses from the government.

The choice made by families not to immunize their children is not supported by public policy or medical research nor should such action be supported by taxpayers in the form of child care payments.

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

The quality of government, I suppose, is determined not by what happens, but by how you react to what happens.
