From Tony Abbott’s speech on relinquishing the Prime Ministership:
I have held true to what I believed and I am proud of what we have achieved over the past two years.
300,000 more people are in jobs.
Labor’s bad taxes are gone.
We have signed Free Trade Agreements with our largest trading partners – with Japan, with Korea, and with China.
The biggest infrastructure programme in our country’s history is under way.
A spotlight is being shone into the dark and corrupt corners of the union movement and Labor’s party/union business model.
We have responded to the threats of terror and we have deployed to the other side of the world to bring our loved ones home.
The boats have stopped – and with the boats stopped, we’ve been better able to display our compassion to refugees.
And despite hysterical and unprincipled opposition, we’ve made $50 billion of repairs to the budget.
I am proud of what the Abbott Government has achieved. We stayed focused despite the white-anting.
And just who were those white ants you were referring to?
