It is our job above all in politics to tackle the big issues and to explain them, and have the honesty to say to people, There are no easy solutions here. – Malcolm Turnbull
The only reason to be in politics is public service. Theres no other reason. Frankly, if thats the best job you can get in terms of money, thats too bad, you know. Because frankly, its not well paid, everyone knows that. So for most people its a big sacrifice. – Malcolm Turnbull
It is our job, as members of parliament, to legislate with an eye to the long term future, to look over the horizon beyond the next election and ensure that as far as we can what we do today will make Australia a better place, a safer place, for future generations to live in. – Malcolm Turnbull
I will go to the next election saying to Australians, vote for me, vote for the Liberal Party, and I will become your PM. So Im offering myself as the alternative PM – thats one way people describe the Leader of the Opposition – but Im not in politics for myself to realize a personal ambition. – Malcolm Turnbull
When you come from desperate poverty, and thats exactly what I come from, you know that nonsenses are not to be tolerated. Im not sure who gains from chaos, but I know its not the poor folks in the council flats. The politics of vindictiveness is never, ever anything like a solution. – Johnny Rotton
