Quotes

“I'm not in favour of going back to a White Australia policy. I do believe that, if it [non-European immigration] is in the eyes of some in the community, it's too great, it would be in our immediate term interest and supporting of social cohesion if it were slowed down a little, so the capacity of the community to absorb it was greater.”
“I don't think it is wrong, racist, immoral or anything, for a country to say 'we will decide what the cultural identity and the cultural destiny of this country will be and nobody else'.”
“.. you must remember that the Australian voter has a short memory span... in fact, less than 14 days in most cases!”
“Truth is absolute, truth is supreme, truth is never disposable in national political life.”
“I've never believed in lower wages. Never. Never believed in lower wages, I've never believed in lower wages as an economic instrument.”
“By the year 2000 I would like to see an Australian nation that feels comfortable and relaxed about three things. I would like to see them comfortable and relaxed about their history. I would like to see them comfortable and relaxed about the present and I'd also like to see them comfortable and relaxed about the future.”
