Paul Kelly Quotations

He was an absolute asset to the force, a great ambassador and sadly he has found himself making this ultimate sacrifice for us all.

Keating understood the power of tradition yet he loved to break the rules and create a new orthodoxy. That's what he did as treasurer saying, in effect, that Labor runs a market model with equity, and it worked. When he became PM, he tried to construct a new set of Labor beliefs based on Asian engagement, reconciliation and the republic. For Keating, these weren't just policies; they were the new Labor template handed down from the mount. The trouble, of course, was his inability to convert a lot of the public.

I think what you're seeing is a flood of companies that have reached a certain level of maturity coming to the market. These are companies that have good science, and are very well capitalized and structured.

It is an area that has probably been in decline for 30 years.

Our members understand that these laws are the beginning of very bad precedents, which they're starting to see across the country. We're going to urge lawmakers at the state, local, and national level to have real dialogues regarding health care.

We expect to be able to announce a buyer in the next three to four weeks. We have four bidders left in the running, and they are all private-equity companies.

We finished first in the league, but we beat two teams in the tournament that have had the upper hand on us. We lost the last two to Bethlehem, and Clifton Park beat us last week.

The problem is all of these approaches seek to force an industry into a one-size-fits-all solution. My members need the ability to tailor their benefits to meet that workforce.

We're very concerned that this is about more than just one company. We're concerned that other states may think this is a good idea in an election year to try and demonstrate they are 'doing something' about health care when in fact they are doing very little.

It was certainly a fantastic year to be so involved with the club, but I do not feel that I can contribute at the level I would like given distance and my other commitments.

The board made the decision to sue one week after the veto override.

It was a good team effort. We shot the ball really well.

Close Australian-Singapore ties are an orthodoxy, yet such ties are not underpinned by sufficient popular consent. And Singapore is about to inflict grave damage on its reputation in this country.

These are not repairs that can be waited on. If they're not done now, the buildings will further deteriorate.

This is like the Academy Awards. Every day, to be able to come in and feel good about what I do would not be possible without students who care about learning.

The first year was really by the skin of our teeth.

All the seats, all the couches, full of sleeping bodies even the floors.
