Australia must prioritise education spending. It is not a question of whether or not we have the money, it is a question of how we choose to spend it.

Behind every successful man there's a lot of unsuccessful years.

I am aware that one should always make room for renewal in politics. A democracy is the healthier for the turnover of the depth of talent there is in its community.
