I Am, As You Know, Hugely Unconvinced

Should We Choose To Extend Our Airstrikes Into Syria, We Will Be Doing This In The Collective Self-defence Of Iraq. We Would Be Doing This Out Of A Responsibility To Protect Innocent People At Risk Of Horrible Death From The Most Violent People Imaginable.

We Are Going To Be A Government Of No Surprises And No Excuses; A Government Which Keeps Its Commitments And A Government Which Is Straight And Candid With The Australian People And That's What We Intend To Do.

We've Got To Get The System Right. That's Why We've Got This Root-and-branch Reform Under Way.

I Instinctively Try To Protect People From Filth.

Australia Will Take More Refugees From Syria In Response To The Growing International Crisis But It Will Not Increase The Total Number Of Asylum Seekers It Accepts.
