government limits excuse
A government that understands the limits of power as well as its potential.
government deeds excuse
And a government that accepts that it will be judged more by its deeds than by its mere words.
mean government excuse
A government that says what it means, and means what it says.
government excuse week
So, my friends, in a week or so the Governor-General will swear in a new government.
school thinking government
I think that the best things that governments can do for productivity is not whack on new taxes and, if we can get institutions like schools and hospitals functioning better, well that's obviously good for the overall productiveness of our society
government legislation accounts
Oppositions are not there to get legislation through. Oppositions are there to hold the government to account
running government cities
In Australia’s biggest cities, public transport is generally slow, expensive, not especially reliable and still hideous drain on the public purse. Part of the problem is inefficient, overmanned, union-dominated government run train and bus systems. Mostly though, …there just aren’t enough people wanting to go from a particular place to a particular destination at a particular time to justify any vehicle larger than a car, and cars need roads
jobs government looks
Look, good government doesn't look for excuses, good government gets on with the job.
government today excuse
Today, we have got more excuses from the government.
smart government people
The smart way to improve broadband is not to junk the existing network but to make the most of it. It’s to let a competitive market deliver the speeds that people need at an affordable price with government improving infrastructure in the areas where market competition won’t deliver it.
senior government groups
We are a very like-minded group, the senior members of this government. The outliers are not very far away from the mainstream.
senior philosophical government
The media - and I'm not blaming them - obviously like to seize on the differences between people and, sure, there are some senior members of the government who are in a slightly different philosophical space to mine. But do not underestimate the substantial single-mindedness of this government.
mean government waste
I understand that government should live within its means, value the money it holds in trust from you the taxpayer, avoid waste and, above all else, observe the first maxim of good government: namely, do no avoidable harm.
government body maternity
Voluntary paid maternity leave: yes; compulsory paid maternity leave: over this Government’s dead body, frankly. It just won’t happen.
