Through hard work and education, we can deliver a strong economy and opportunity for all.

You work hard for your income, and that hard work is what fuels the economy.

Here in Australia we do get impacted by global economic events. But we should have some confidence that our economy has got strong underlying fundamentals.

My guiding principle is that prosperity can be shared. We can create wealth together. The global economy is not a zero-sum game.

The economy is the start and end of everything. You can't have successful education reform or any other reform if you don't have a strong economy.

We don't have to sacrifice a strong economy for a healthy environment.
