View Photo »I'm very determined as Prime Minister as we go through this period of economic change that we emerge with a diversified economy with many sources of strength
I don't understand Julia Gillard. How could a 2011 Prime Minister of Australia be stuck in 1911 when it comes to equality in marriage?
I've had some discussions with Andrew Wilkie. We will have some more discussions in the future and it's not my intention to engage in running commentary in any way while those discussions are happening.
These latest arrivals mean more than 7200 people have arrived on illegal boats since Julia Gillard was appointed as Prime Minister
I am very concerned about the anecdotal reports that there is a requirement that Australian firms are not used in mining
Australian journalists are courageous, the Australian population is supportive, but Julia Gillard is a cowardly Australian Prime Minister.
I do not understand them to be people who probably have that kind of money at their disposal, so unfortunately, it is the government, the Australian taxpayer, who to date, has had to bear these costs, which is why, among other reasons, why I think (their) conduct was irresponsible
Julia Gillard has put [Peter Slipper] into the biggest job in the Parliament
My message would be to people who have got this anecdotal evidence, that we need to take it to the next stage to get the clear evidence
The difference is that we were trying to manage Peter Slipper out of the Parliament. Julia Gillard has put him into the biggest job in the Parliament
I'm not going to be engaging in comments on the discussions I am having. When we've got something to say, we'll say it
What I cannot understand is the craven behaviour of the Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard
Look, I've said all I'm going to say. It's not my intention to be commenting on these discussions as they are happening ... We're in a course of discussions and it's my intention to pursue those discussions to the end. And then when we've got something to say, we'll say it.
In Australia there is great inequality. But all you ever hear about is Julia Gillard, the carbon tax, Tony Abbott … It's time we got down to some big issues and debated this a bit more. There's a lot of people doing amazing things. This is a very lucky country. But hopefully we can be a better example t...
I'm not going to be engaging in comments on the discussions I'm having (with independent MP Andrew Wilkie)
I've known him for a long time. He is what he is. He'll now be on display in the Parliament every day at two o'clock. He is now Julia Gillard's Speaker and, if he's good, I suppose Julia Gillard can bask in that. If he's not so good, well, it's her problem.
The truth is, it has been a costly venture to go and retrieve these three men
He's been executed politically, the way Kevin Rudd was executed politically, to help the political interests of Julia Gillard.
It's a wonderful time to be investing more in our research capacity, investing in our connection with Antarctica, a history 100 years old but with a great future in front of it
He'll now be on display in the Parliament every day at 2 o'clock. He is now Julia Gillard's Speaker. I think a lot of people in the Labor Party are saying today, 'We have replaced Harry Jenkins with what?'
We will pursue that case to the end
We were in the process of removing him from the Liberal Party. This is such a fine person, such a man of upstanding character, that Julia Gillard has decided that she wants him to hold this high office.
you must do this or you must do that. It happened the other way around
I was moved by the Australian people. (Prime Minister Julia Gillard) visited Japan after the earthquake and Australian people are very good to Japan. Hiroshima has a strong association with war and I would like to make this a peace visit.
I do expect people who have been in that process every step of the way to hold to the process they agreed to
