“Look, I mean, most schools sing a national anthem, perhaps maybe only once a term. It is not something that’s mandated in schools.

“There’s been warnings about the unsustainability of the NDIS programme for a long time. And it’s as a result of a policy drift and of a lack of fiscal discipline. It’s now the same give or take as the national defence budget, which is an extraordinary situation to be in.”

“There are a layer upon layer upon layer of misinformation, disinformation about this whole renewable scenario. It doesn’t provide us national security, national affordability, reliability.”

“The case itself, he’s entitled to innocence before proven guilty. That’s absolute importance that that process runs out. But what I’m confused about is that the chain of command and the people who are above him, who have been given medals of distinction for command, and yet they seem to be given a blanket excuse.

“This sort of excise offer is, obviously, a bit of a sugar hit. It will be popular. People will be more than happy to take what’s on the table, but there’s no clear long-term strategy to this. There is no vision of, “What actually are we going to do?” This is not going to be solved in the next few days.”
