	Lateline - 30/09/2004: Voters wont buy Medicare Gold, says Abbott
		TONY ABBOTT: Well, I've spoken to people at very senior levels in both Affinity and Ramsay, which are the two biggest health care groups and they're very sceptical about this.
		TONY ABBOTT: Obviously if you've only got a certain amount of supply and you suddenly put the over 75s at the front of the queue, for everyone else the queue is going to be much longer.
		TONY ABBOTT: Well, obviously we want a good deal for everyone, we want a good deal for everyone, but we don't want people to be taken in by false promises.

	AM - Abortion rate worries Abbott
		TONY ABBOTT: He's certainly pointed out the oddity of desperately trying to save prenatal life in one part of the hospital and at the same time taking prenatal life in another part of the hospital.
		TONY ABBOTT: That's actually a matter for the States, because it's the States which set the law in these areas, but I can certainly understand my friend and colleague's concerns and I think a lot of people in the community have similar concerns.
		TONY ABBOTT: Ah, well, I don't much like abortion full stop, but obviously abortions at a point in the pregnancy when the child to be might otherwise be viable, obviously raise even more serious ethical issues than those much earlier in pregnancy.

	Federal Health Minister Tony Abbott
		Tony Abbott: Look, I'm not going to enumerate all the things that might be in the package, but as the package currently stands, there are three major items that do require Senate approval.
		Tony Abbott: The universal aspect of Medicare has always been a universal safety net, a universal health insurance system to ensure that no-one should have really serious out-of-pocket expenses because of health issues.
		Tony Abbott: I think there's no doubt that the American drug companies don't like the PBS because the government uses its position as a massive purchaser of drugs to keep prices down, and that's the way it should be.

	Interview: Tony Abbott
		Tony Abbott: We are reviewing the existing clinics, the existing after-hours program, and on the basis of that review, we will make decisions about whether to re-fund the program in next year's Budget.
		Tony Abbott: Drug companies obviously always want to get the best possible price for their drugs, and they want to have the widest possible availability of their drugs, but we are certainly not going to slug Australian taxpayers to enrich American shareholders.
		Tony Abbott: Look, I will be providing him with good health policies, with good health administration, and hopefully I will be doing my bit to give him the ultimate 65th birthday present, which is election for a new term.

		TONY ABBOTT: Well, obviously the intelligence that everyone was getting turned out not to be absolutely accurate, but even Andrew Wilkie thought before the Iraq war that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and sure with the benefit of hindsight we now know that it wasn't absolutely accurate.
		TONY ABBOTT: Well, it would be a pity for someone of that standing and that kind of record as a senior public servant for many years, it would be a great pity if someone like that had stumbled into this kind of thing.

	Workplace Relations Minister Tony Abbott
		ABBOTT: But what we should do is focus on the fundamentals, and the fundamentals are that over the last five years growth has been high, unemployment has gone down, employment has been up, and now interest rates are heading down again, and that will be good news for the economy...
		ABBOTT: You've got to remember, Laurie, that on 1998 Queensland state election figures Ryan was lost as well and we went on to win it by nine per cent in the federal election.
		ABBOTT: But the fact is, despite all the difficulties that the government has had over the last two months, John Howard is still, by far, the preferred prime minister of the voting Australian public.

	Australian Labor Party: Tony Abbott resignation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Tony Abbott has done a dishonourable thing, he should now do an honourable thing and resign.
		The other thing that makes Tony Abbott's position unsustainable is that mental health groups around the country have indicated they no longer have confidence in him and indeed some of his most senior Liberal colleagues, particularly in New South Wales, have indicated they don't have confidence in him.
		Tony Abbott's reaction wasn't the natural human reaction, it was callous, it was insensitive, it was grossly inappropriate for the man who ultimately is responsible for Australia's mental health system.

	How Tony Abbott helped revive Hansonism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Tony Abbott and the Liberals, however, were not interested in defeating the politics of racism, just in disposing of an embarrassing electoral rival.
		She was in danger of provoking a movement that would shift the political terrain to the left, and expose many of the lies the Coalition based its immigration and Indigenous affairs policies on.
		It was around this time that Abbott set up the corporate slush fund to bankroll a civil suit aimed at getting One Nation's electoral registration withdrawn — which he presumably hoped would cause the undemocratic, squabble-ridden outfit to fall apart.

	Abbott 'should resign' for mocking Brogden - National - smh.com.au

	Abbott's love child turns into shaggy dog story - National - www.smh.com.au
		The four involved, Ms Donnelly, Mr Abbott, the unidentified man and Mr O'Connor, took DNA tests which determined the Health Minister was not the father.
		Mr Abbott was under the impression that the baby was his son and he saw him briefly before Ms Donnelly relinquished the boy for adoption five days after the birth.
		The story had additional piquancy owing to the fact that the "son" was a soundman with the ABC in the parliamentary press gallery and had often worked side-by-side with his "father" with neither man realising their relationship.

	Baggas' Blog: Product may not contain chicken (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Very impressed with the current health minister Tony Abbott in his performance in the portfolio, willing to negotiate and achieve positive results in health reform, to a far greater extent than his predecessors.
		Not only that but his recent speech on The Ethical Responsibilities of a Christian Politician, which attracted much notice in the media for it's abortion comments, gives a very thoughtful and reasoned exploration of the relationship between Christian beliefs and a political career.
		Abbott has been touted as a possible third in line to the top job, after Peter Costello, and I'd certainly rate him much more highly after his performance in the last few months than I would have previously.

		The presentation of Minister Abbott's views are for the purposes of information of, and research by, visitors to this site and do not reflect support for the views contained in the sites.
		Indeed, in my view, Mr Abbott's ideology undermines the principles of equity and fairness which were the basis for national regulation of the workplace.
