We are sticking with the plan. We have a plan to get taxes down, to get regulation down, to get productivity up, to create jobs, to reduce taxes, to boost prosperity. The plan is working and we are sticking with it.

We are about getting things done. We are not about the blame game. We are not about making excuses.

There will be no surprises, there will be no excuses, we will do what we've said we will do.

The thing about social media is that it is anonymous, so it can be much more vitriolic and extreme than normal media and yet it is there for everyone to see. It is kind of like electronic graffiti. The political process is accelerated and intense in a way that I don't believe it ever really has been before.

We will be a consultative, collegial government. No surprises, no excuses. That's what you'll get under the Coalition.

The last thing Australia needs right now is instability and uncertainty.
