party given estates
Prima facie, every estate, whether given by will or otherwise, is supposed to be beneficial to the party to whom it is so given.
senior government groups
We are a very like-minded group, the senior members of this government. The outliers are not very far away from the mainstream.
country strong men
We have a strong and credible broadband policy because the man who has devised it, the man who will implement it virtually invented the Internet in this country. Thank you so much, Malcolm Turnbull.
party office lucky

I'm getting my exercise at five o'clock in the morning, that's good. So far I've managed to hold on to a bike ride on Saturday or Sunday morning, probably at least two weekends out of three.
media umpires complaining
When politicians complain about the media, it strikes me as resembling footballers complaining about the umpire.
successful thinking knowing
I think leadership is knowing what you want to achieve and then purposefully and sensibly taking steps to achieve it, remembering always that you have got to bring people with you if you are seeking to be a successful political leader
