John Robertson Quotations

Working people in regional Australia will feel the brunt of Howard's workplace laws and I'd be very worried if I was a federal MP who has voted for this legislation.

What the president is effectively saying is that the economy will this year grow by over 35%, from a negative of 35% in the past seven years, which is not possible. You cannot achieve growth where there is no investment.

We want him to be leader. He's done a good job for us. I think he should remain where he is.

The only predictable thing is that you cannot predict what they will government will do next.

We used to have the ability to generate our own foreign currency and now we are borrowing. We need to revive our export sector to be able to get back on track.

We've seen a lot of override attempts, pretty much all over the place in the past three years. And the fiscal pressure is not going to go away.

Much more inflation. Because this government is always going to be printing its way out of its current difficulty.

I am bitterly disappointed not to leave with three points. We dominated the match and created the best chances of the game.

For us, it's always been a concern. Over the years, there's been a number of minor accidents. There are trees and sort of dips in the grass, and stones out there, and so on and so forth. It's pretty dangerous.

If that continues right through to the next election that means there is no Howard Government.

We looked at who might come in to replace them. There were 27 possibilities.

Harvests are going to be poor because most farmers got inputs late and that means more foreign currency will be used to import food we should be producing.

It is not an intelligent move to adjust exchange rates according to volumes traded while there is a serious scarcity of foreign currency on the official market.

It is not surprising that some hotels are taking people on terms that would not be considered ideal N but then they have no choice because they want to remain in business.

Our whole camp felt it should have been a straight red card. It was two-footed and over the top of the ball. Everybody in the ground knew it was a red card apart from the referee. I think Mr Clark may be disappointed when he sees the tackle again.

Our low steel is at 58 eight feet high,

Statistics show that African-Americans have been disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS since the epidemic's beginning. If we increase the dialogue and get everyone involved, we will be able to galvanize our communities to take action and stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Some kind of cleanup was needed, but the government again and again is treating the symptoms. The real problem is that these are destitute people who have been forced into doing these things by the government's own actions.

We'd prefer to provide the tools rather than the research. We don't want to limit our options. We want to enable others to use the tools for whatever they want.

We dominated most of the first half and the second but could not score.

We'll play worse this season and win, and we are a bit disappointed not to have taken all three points.

The problems we've had in the last seven years will definitely follow us into the new year as the economy continues shrinking.

The problem is, they are on a real slippery slope. In a year and a half they may not have any money,

We are heading for 1,000 percent inflation by the year end if we do not start behaving better. The government itself is beginning to feel the impact of their policies. They don't want the consequences of having, one month, not paid the army.

What we see today is the largest gathering ever of workers across Australia.

This really is a significant activity in our community. It's an extremely busy time and really pushes a lot of our resources here to the limit.

the government is now the victim of its own policies -- the only word that comes to mind is state vandalism.

We are oftentimes not given a reason for having a booking fall through.

Dundee already have a lot of good players on their books, St Johnstone have signed a few good players and Hamilton have been spending a lot of money this year, so I would imagine that yet again it will be a very tough league.

Due to price controls, the more you manufacture, the bigger the loss and that is why manufacturers choose to serve the export market where the prices are not controlled but determined by the market forces.

Despite the fact that we have won, we kept a clean sheet and stayed top of the table, the players are pretty disappointed with their display in the last half hour. We were exceptional for an hour.

The weight of the equipment might also be a consideration.

They (government) had based their projections on inflation declining but inflation is continuously going up.

They are really competitive. They have some cleaning up of their routines to do before then, but they should be ready by the time we leave for Las Vegas.

It was our first event so we were all kind of anxious. The comments told us that those who participated were very happy that we hosted a local event.

It is the consensus of the committee that the problems with the county's budget will not be solved by mere generation of additional revenue. Unless other meaningful, timely and substantive actions are taken to curtail budget growth, a repetitive crisis of currency and citizen confidence can be anticipated.

It's hard to read too much within five or six weeks, but we are very encouraged by what we saw in the first month. The phone line has been especially active. The comments we're getting are very encouraging.

The offence couldn't be described as sophisticated but it is serious because everyone uses a credit card these days,

It went great, much better than we had anticipated.

They've said, 'If you agree to privatize and sell to us your railways, your electricity generation, etc. ? we will come in with capital.

The intention is to build a young team which can be built on for the future. The team has achieved everything that we can possibly do in South Africa, and the future of the team is in Europe. There is therefore an obligation to purchase the best riders possible to fulfil all the sponsors' objectives regardless of nationality. David is an outstanding professional, who has been on the team since its inception and we hold him in high regard and thank him for the contribution he has made to the team.

I'm absolutely delighted that Livingston have honored me with the chance to manage the club. We have the proverbial 12 cup finals to come, but this club can stay up and I'm here to make sure they do.

In a country where about half the population is reportedly threatened with starvation, the increase in inflation would be felt particularly hard as the dollar continues to slide.

You could see it coming, but you're just hoping that something's going to change.

Alabama has developed a critical mass in the industry, and it starts to build on itself.

The economy has lost its ability to export and other problems such as high inflation are a result of that,

The mechanism is relating the wrong things. The scarcity problem is not being addressed.

The manager has been doing extra work with the front players and it has been brilliant for us. He is such a great finisher that you cannot help but pick up tips from him.
