AUSTRALIA'S 

MEMORABLE QUOTES

The following 'Quotes' were hailed, at the time of their making, to be significant milestones in Australian political history.

Some were, the rest could at best be described as 'deception of the Australian people' or at worst, have been proven to be 'blatant lies'.

You be the JUDGE.

Should you be aware of a 'MEMORABLE QUOTE'... please e-mail it to the WebMaster for inclusion onto this page.

 

 

'By the year 1990, there will be NO Australian child living in poverty!'

Prime Minister, Bob Hawke (1988)

'NO... Australia is NOT going into recession!'

Federal Treasurer, Paul Keating (November 1989)

'This is the recession that Australia had to have!'

Federal Treasurer, Paul Keating (January 1990)

A reporter questioned the reaction anticipated from the introduction of the GST, Prime Minister Howard said in reply '... you must remember that the Australian voter has a short memory span... in fact, less than 14 days in most cases!'

Prime Minister, John Howard (1999)

'We will decide who comes to this country, and the circumstances under which they come!'

Prime Minister, John Howard (November 2001)
