Those who condemn gay marriage, yet are silent or indifferent to the breakdown of marriage and divorce, are, in my view, missing the real issue. – 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
Do the bishops seriously imagine that legalising gay marriage will result in thousands of parties to heterosexual marriages suddenly deciding to get divorced so they can marry a person of the same sex? – Malcolm Turnbull
Broadcasters or politicians or writers who think that they are respecting Struggle Street, the battlers, by dumbing things down into one-line sound bites are not respecting them, they are treating them with contempt. Its our job above all in politics to tackle the big issues and to explain them. – Malcolm Turnbull
