Tony
Abbott’s New Year Message for 2014
Wednesday, 1 January 2014
If ever we should enter a New
Year full of optimism, it is 2014.
We are a strong, resilient and
smart people.
That’s the strength of our
country. Not so much government, but in the willingness of you – the people –
to better your life.
This is the year, I hope more of
us than ever will ‘have a go’ – we’ll start new businesses, we’ll build new
houses, we’ll undertake further study, make investments and plan a future:
because that’s how we build the stronger and more prosperous country that we
all want.
The Government will do its part:
we are scrapping bad taxes, we’re cutting red and green tape, we’re ending
waste, we’re building infrastructure and strengthening the Budget.
My plan is to give you more
choice, more freedom and fewer government demands – so that you can build a
better future for yourself and for our country.
A strong country always has a
deep appreciation of its history and this year we commence the commemoration of
the Centenary of Anzac and I hope that you will take part.
I will also start the
conversation about a constitutional referendum to recognise the first
Australians. This would complete our Constitution rather than change it.
We are a great country and a
great people. We believe in family, in community; in doing things for love, not
just money; and living our ideals.
May we all be nearer to our best
selves in 2014, government included.
So Happy New Year Australia. |
