“when you haven’t got the numbers, be vicious. It’s called minority politics.”
― David Marr, Political Animal: The Making of Tony Abbott [Quarterly Essay 47]

“While he was pilloried for enforcing a severe regime of punishment to force them to look for jobs, he was trying behind the scenes to persuade the government to take another course entirely. He wanted tax breaks for those on welfare to encourage them to take work. This was his one big idea in the portfolio and he has cited it since as evidence that somewhere inside the Liberal Party the DLP was alive and well. But not very alive: the plan was killed off by Howard.”
