 I had this habit of an academic of answering the question. I should have fobbed it off. |
| To make us a terrorist target in a region that is full of terrorism is dumb and unforgiveable. |
| Silence is best. Topics: Short |
| The reality is, it will be a significant conflict going for many, many months, if not longer. Saddam Hussein is not a fool. He hasn't been sitting there waiting to get shot for 13 years. |
| We've lost sight of our role in the region and our view of our colleagues in the region. |
| Hussein has a strategy. I'm sure he'll implement that strategy, and it would be to our detriment. We're embarking on an exercise about which we know nothing. |
| I was not a politician. |
| Tony Blair will probably get thrown out by his party. |
| I never wanted to separate from either wife. It was accumulated stress. We had virtually no time to ourselves. After politics we were both working very hard to establish new careers. |
| I've been arguing this for months. This is not our war. This is not a war we should be in. Australia's better spending its time negotiating with North Korea. |
| I got a bit enamoured with bigger houses and things like that. |
| I was just absolutely exhausted. The media said I've been treated for a nervous breakdown. All that stuff I just took as people taking the opportunity when you're down to give you a kick. |
| The only person you resent is yourself. |
| To send our troops, our ships, our planes to this war is ridiculous. |
| I'm not tied to any particular political line. |
| It's not just the war itself. It's what you do after the war and what structure you put in place and how you make that structure work. |
| I think the Prime Minister has embarked on a journey and he has no idea where he's taking us. |
