“Compulsory superannuation is possibly the greatest confidence trick of the last decade.”

“The so-called GP super clinics programme is a building programme, it’s not a health services programme, and that’s why the Coalition has always been opposed to it.”
“What we are seeing going through the parliament though, Paul is legislation to produce additional bureaucracies, unnecessary additional bureaucracies and that’s why we’ve opposed those moves.”

“I think it’s fair to say that no one understands what these Medicare Locals are supposed to be and there are very grave concerns in the local health community that these Medicare Locals could turn out to be an attack on fee for service, could turn out to be an attack on the medical profession, further undermining the professionalism and the autonomy of doctors and that’s the last thing we should see.” Doorstop - 17 February 2011

“The Prime Minister claims that the stimulus spending was necessary to save jobs, but at about $250,000 each, the 200,000 jobs allegedly saved by the $53 billion in stimulus payments look to have been dearly bought.”
Address to The Sydney Institute - 27 July 2010
Tony Abbott said ‘NO’ to the stimulus funding that saved 200,000 jobs
“...I think that the whole National Broadband Network exercise is misguided. I think it’s going to be a colossal white elephant.”

NEIL MITCHELL: Oh good, thank you, well that was on the flood levy. Now, do you think you can stop it? TONY ABBOTT: We’ll do our best because I think Queenslanders and Victorians in particular have suffered enough without having to suffer yet another new tax from a government which has got a lot of new taxes planned for us. So we’ll do our best.
“So far, no country has escaped from third world status on the basis of foreign aid. Every country which has moved out of comparative poverty (such as Korea, Taiwan and Singapore) and every region which has become a particular country’s economic locomotive (such as Mumbai or Shanghai) has done so on the basis of trade not aid. This stands to reason because buying from someone makes him a partner while giving to someone is more likely to make him a supplicant than a friend.”
3AW - 27 January 2011
Tony Abbott said ‘NO’ to the $5.8 billion flood levy to help Queensland and Victoria
rebuild after the devastating floods
And he says ‘NO’ in principle to foreign aid

“The Trade Training Centres that the Government has in mind are essentially a shed out the back of the school with a lathe in it. There are no dedicated teachers. There is no dedicated ongoing funding.”
“Julia Gillard’s National Trade Cadetships Programme announcement is policy on the run – it’s a thought bubble and not even close to concept stage.”

“Now, I don’t particularly like exit fees but we’ve got to understand that the banks are going to need to recoup their costs and the problem with a ban, particularly with an across the board ban is that it could end up making things even harder for struggling first home buyers.”
“There were further cheques, the $900 cheques, that went out as part of the second stimulus which we opposed and I have to say we were right to oppose it.”
Doorstop - 14 June 2011

QUESTION: Will you submit the election policies to the Parliamentary Budget Office?
TONY ABBOTT: If the Parliamentary Budget Office is the kind of institution that it should be; that treats proposals from members of parliament in confidence and provides frank and fearless confidential advice, yes, but that’s not the Parliamentary Budget Office that we look like getting from this Government.
TONY ABBOTT: Well this $70 billion figure is a fanciful figure. It’s plucked from the air by government ministers and I’m surprised you’re re-telling it to me.
LYNDAL CURTIS: But your finance spokesman told me last week that the size of the task was $70 billion.
