Quotes

"A few billion dollars in efficiency cuts are not helpful and Australia is in a great position ? but it is also under serious threat because there are so many countries now, investing huge amounts of money and building world class universities. ?Places like South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, they have shown how you can develop absolutely world class universities very quickly with the right money, the right government, with the right leadership, with the right political support. ?Australia can't rest on its laurels, you can't relax. ?It has to be recognised that these universities need nurturing, they need continued support, that austerity could hurt and also its international market could be challenged.?"
Senator Leahy said during a March hearing on drones that he was "convinced that the domestic use of drones to conduct surveillance and collect other information will have a broad and significant impact on the everyday lives of millions of Americans going forward."
"It makes my blood boil and sends a disturbing message. This man is unrepentantly evil."
"Some serious number crunching and examination of evidence, rather than purely emotional or ideological reactions, is required."
