If I Am Wrong And You Are

The 'black Armband' View Of Our History Reflects A Belief That Most Australian History Since 1788 Has Been Little More Than A Disgraceful Story Of Imperialism, Exploitation, Racism, Sexism And Other Forms Of Discrimination. I Take A Very Different View. I Believe That The Balance Sheet Of Our History Is One Of Heroic Achievement And That We Have Achieved Much More As A Nation Of Which We Can Be Proud Of Than Which We Should Be Ashamed.

It's Beyond Belief That Any Australian Could Be So Stupid As To Carry Drugs Into Any Country In Asia.

There Is Much In American Society Which I Admire, But I Have Long Held The View That The Absence Of An Effective Safety Net In That Country Means That Too Many Needy Citizens Fall By The Wayside. That Is Not The Path That Australia Will Tread. Nor Do We Want The Burdens Of Nanny State Paternalism That Now Weigh Down Many Economies In Europe.

Sport Is An Important Part Of The Australian Psyche. Anybody Who Thinks That Sport Is Not Part Of The Fabric Of Australian Life Misunderstands This Country Quite Dramatically.

Truth Is Absolute, Truth Is Supreme, Truth Is Never Disposable In National Political Life.
