Quotes

  • It really surprises me that some people in this party think we owe Westpac something. Or the ANZ Bank. Or the National.
  • If this Government cannot get the adjustment, get manufacturing going again, and keep moderate wage outcomes and a sensible economic policy, then Australia is basically done for. We will end up being a third rate economy...a banana republic.
  • "The first thing to say is that the accounts do show that Australia is in a recession. The most important thing about that is that this is a recession that Australia had to have." Press conference, 29 November 1990.
  • The Placido Domingo of Australian politics.
  • Even as it walked out on you and joined the Common Market, you were still looking for your MBEs and your knighthoods, and all the rest of the regalia that comes with it. You would take Australia right back down the time tunnel to the cultural cringe where you have always come from.
  • Australia without the Irish would be unthinkable... unimaginable... unspeakable.
