I have been heartened by the messages of support flooding into Liberal MPs’ offices this evening saying most emphatically, “We are not the Labor Party.”
I want to repeat that; I have been most heartened by the messages of support flooding into Liberal MPs’ offices saying most emphatically, “We are not the Labor Party.”
This country needs strong and stable Government and that means avoiding, at all costs, Labor’s revolving-door Prime Ministership.
Since coming to Government, our team has stopped the boats, improved the Budget, cut taxes and increased jobs. We have laid the foundation for a better deal for families and for small business.
You can trust me to deliver a stronger economy and a safer community.
The Prime Ministership of this country is not a prize or a plaything to be demanded.
It should be something which is earned by a vote of the Australian people.
There will be a Party Room ballot for both the leadership and deputy leadership positions later this evening.
I will be a candidate and I expect to win.
Obviously, I am dismayed by the destabilisation that’s been taking place now for many, many months and I do say to my fellow Liberals that the destabilisation just has to stop.
Let me finish on this note – I firmly believe that our Party is better than this, that our Government is better than this and, by God, that our country is so much better than this.
