I think the people of Victoria are smart, intelligent people. ”

Ted Baillieu certainly has served the state very well. He has served the Liberal party extraordinarily well, and he can be very, very proud of his achievements. I am honoured and proud to say that he is not just a colleague, he is a great friend. ”

Free speech is a valuable commodity, which we preserve and protect, but there quite rightly is restriction on free speech in the best interest of the good order of the community and common sense. ”

Victoria is proudly the multicultural capital of Australia; we have a diverse, harmonious community. ”

I think every business should build on their strengths, and the strengths of Victoria are our clean, green agriculture; the strengths of Victoria are our strong education system. ”

If you look at America, one of the great strengths of America is its university towns and the way a lot of their businesses and a lot of their innovation and enormous economic growth have come from reducing that gap, getting those universities directly involved in start-up businesses, green field businesses, new development businesses. ”

The Greens simply don't understand that a strong economy is the key to a better Victoria for all Victorian families. ”

The Greens will threaten the future of our strong economy. They will destroy jobs and put Victorian families at risk. ”
