If I was in a refugee camp somewhere on the Pakistani border, of course I'd want to come to Australia.

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.

I have close family members as well as lots of close friends who are gay. Many of them strongly support gay marriage.

Oppositions are not there to get legislation through. Oppositions are there to hold the government to account.

The fact is that I'm interested in getting on with my job of holding the Government to account and I think that the Government should get on with the job of effectively running the country and not making excuses for poor performance, not lowering expectations. Their job is to deliver on their election commitments.

We have a strong and credible broadband policy because the man who has devised it, the man who will implement it virtually invented the Internet in this country.
