I am extremely unwilling that we should take upon ourselves to exercise a jurisdiction which the law does not vest in us.

We are going to be a government of no surprises and no excuses; a government which keeps its commitments and a government which is straight and candid with the Australian people and that's what we intend to do.

Our police, our hard-working police, that our extraordinarily committed and dedicated military personnel, I'm really pleased that they are getting a good paid parental leave scheme.

If we boost productivity, we can improve economic growth.

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

I can't promise that I won't continue to embarrass people.

Should we choose to extend our airstrikes into Syria, we will be doing this in the collective self-defence of Iraq. We would be doing this out of a responsibility to protect innocent people at risk of horrible death from the most violent people imaginable.
