I’m offering Kevin Rudd today, with my Deputy Julie Bishop with me here today, we’re offering to Kevin Rudd to sit down with him and speak and cooperate in a bipartisan way on the measures that can be undertaken in the very near term to provide greater stability and security in our economy and our financial markets.

Turnbull interview with Ali Moore (774 ABC Melbourne) - Chris Ellison, economy, Barnaby Joyce, HIH...
Chris Ellison is a great loss and I was certainly expecting to be working with him in the shadow cabinet as Leader just as I had as shadow treasurer. But his departure, which will be a great loss to us, obviously creates another vacancy in the shadow cabinet.
Garrett confused on pipeline

Turnbull interview with Leon Byner (Radio 5AA, Adelaide)
It’s very hard to predict that Leon. The one thing I could say is that business confidence would be higher in Australia if Mr Swan and Mr Rudd hadn’t embarked on a political campaign - a political strategy, right from the beginning of this year to talk down the economy and talk up inflation.
Heaven help the self funded retirees
Labor has again hidden behind a wall of rhetoric, after today refusing to outline any measures the Rudd Government was taking to protect Australian superannuation accounts arising from the volatility of the American capital market.

Rudd's shambolic revolution
The cornerstone of the Rudd Government’s education policy was the ‘Digital Education Revolution’ which originally promised a computer on every desk for students between years 9 and 12. That quickly changed to access to a computer, which has now changed to one computer for every two students
Turnbull interview with Alan Jones (Radio 2GB) - Liberal leadership, economy, ETS...
We need policies that will not trash the Australian economy and you know, really the absurdity of Mr Rudd’s position is this; he has come out with an options paper on an emissions trading scheme – well that’s fair enough. I’m disappointed that the options paper doesn’t advance the policy development one iota of where it was last year when we were in government.
