Tony Abbott’s books are so amazing!
While I think men and women are equal, they are also different and I think it’s inevitable and I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all that we always have, say, more women doing things like physiotherapy and an enormous number of women simply doing housework.
We are looking at what more we can do. As well as a strong security response we need a strong humanitarian one.
Well, I’m not saying that an emissions tax is ever going to be good policy.
This is a government which is proposing to put at risk our manufacturing industry, to penalise struggling families, to make a tough situation worse for millions of households right around Australia. And for what? To make not a scrap of difference to the environment any time in the next 1000 years.
Whether carbon dioxide is quite the environmental villain that some people make it out to be is not yet proven.
The smart way to improve broadband is not to junk the existing network but to make the most of it. It’s to let a competitive market deliver the speeds that people need at an affordable price with government improving infrastructure in the areas where market competition won’t deliver it.

The role of CO2 is not nearly as clear as the climate catastrophists would suggest.
We’ve got to get the system right. That’s why we’ve got this root-and-branch reform under way.
The sky is where mathematics and magic become one.
If we boost productivity, we can improve economic growth.
Australia would play its role in taking displaced people from the Syrian conflict.

Another big problem with any Australian emissions reduction scheme is that it would not make a material difference to atmospheric carbon concentrations unless the big international polluters had similar schemes.
A government that says what it means, and means what it says.
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.
The measure in the budget in relation to parental leave pay is based on a simple proposition. Most women across Australia have access to one scheme funded by the taxpayer. Some women have access to two schemes and that’s great.
Labor has come out with a series of proposals to increase taxes, including taxes on people across Australia saving for their retirement, he has actually identified so far zero dollars in spending reductions.
