If you fear loneliness, then don't get married.
When politicians offer you something for nothing, or something that sounds too good to be true, it's always worth taking a careful second look.
I am an ambitious person, but I am not ambitious in the sense that I want jobs only for the sake of them. . . I am here to do things I think are worthwhile. I am always careful that the political positions I take are consistent with good policy. I would not want to be prime minister of Australia at any price.
Anyone who thinks it's smart to cut immigration is sentencing Australia to poverty.
Everything we do as a government is focused on getting help and support for hard-working Australian families. We are standing up for them.
I believe politicians should aim to be accurate and truthful in what they say at all times. You can be truthful and inaccurate but what you shouldn't be doing at any time is saying things that are untrue or making commitments that you have no intention of honouring.
Climate change is a global problem. The planet is warming because of the growing level of greenhouse gas emissions from human activity. If this trend continues, truly catastrophic consequences are likely to ensue from rising sea levels, to reduced water availability, to more heat waves and fires.
I've been through Hell with some of the members of my old band, and Hell is highly stressful.
Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future.
I learned early that crying out in protest could accomplish things. My older brothers and sister had started to school when, sometimes, they would come in and ask for a buttered biscuit or something and my mother, impatiently, would tell them no. But I would cry out and make a fuss until I got what I wanted. I remember well how my mother asked me why I couldn't be a nice boy like Wilfred; but I would think to myself that Wilfred, for being so nice and quiet, often stayed hungry. So early in life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.
The nature of the work is to prepare for a good accident.
