Ladies and gentlemen, it is marvellous to be here in Melbourne. It’s great to be here before the Victorian Liberal Party.

Lessons from Cyprus
Written by Julie Bishop
There is an old saying that it only takes one shot to start a war. While technically correct, this ignores the build-up – a failure of diplomacy, increasing tensions, months or years of military escalation and a collapse of trust in the opposing government or military force – that ultimately leads to that [...]
Labor’s Child Care Chaos Contin...
Labor has no real, coherent plan for child care as evidenced by five years of inaction. Only the Coalition has a plan for more affordable, accessible and flexible child care.

Foreign policy in 2013: Carr vs Bisho...
Foreign policy has been thrown into the spotlight as Australia takes up its seat on the United Nations Security Council.
The federal government says the two-year mandate shows Australia is a trusted member of the international community, and will make Australians proud. But as Australia enters a federal election year, the Opposition argues th [...]
Time for Government to Stop Defence C...
With the New Year upon us and less than five months until the next federal budget, now is the time the Gillard Government must categorically rule out any further cuts to the already plundered Defence budget.
Shadow Minister for Defence Science, Technology and Personnel, Stuart Robert, said with Defence spending as a percentage of GDP at its l [...]

As a community we must have zero tolerance for the sexual abuse of children. Wherever abuse has occurred it must be tackled and it must be tackled vigorously, openly and transparently.
