I Want To Run A Government, Barnaby

The Last Thing Australia Needs Right Now Is Instability And Uncertainty.

I've Always Avoided Those Sorts Of Self-assessments Because If You Give Yourself A 10 Out Of 10 People Think You're A Big Head, If You Give Yourself A 6 Out Of 10 They Think You're Plagued With Self-doubt, So I'm Just Not Going To Rate Myself.

The Media - And I'm Not Blaming Them - Obviously Like To Seize On The Differences Between People And, Sure, There Are Some Senior Members Of The Government Who Are In A Slightly Different Philosophical Space To Mine. But Do Not Underestimate The Substantial Single-mindedness Of This Government.

I Understand That Government Should Live Within Its Means, Value The Money It Holds In Trust From You The Taxpayer, Avoid Waste And, Above All Else, Observe The First Maxim Of Good Government: Namely, Do No Avoidable Harm.

We Cannot Suffer A Person By His Affidavit To Arraign The Whole Justice Of The Country And Its Administration.
