The truth is I try to take people as I find them.

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.

The problem with the Australian practice of abortion is that an objectively grave matter has been reduced to a question of the mother's convenience.

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

I want to see an end to sovereign risk questions over Australia.

You cannot win an election without a fight.
