"This is a proud nation, a confident nation, a cohesive nation, a united nation, a nation that can achieve anything it wants if it sets it mind to it."
"A beacon of hope, of tolerance, and achievement around the world.
"The rest of the world sees us as a strong and successful nation."
"We are a nation that is respected around the world because we are prepared to stand up for what we believe in."
"Never forget the fact that governments are elected not only to govern for the people who voted for them, but also for the people who voted against them."
"We have to look back to the 1960s to find a case where an incumbent goverment has increased its majority on two consecutive occasions."
"Can I say to John Anderson, the Deputy Prime Minister and the leader of the National Party, there is no finer human being in public service."
"To the Deputy Leader of my own party, Peter Costello, the treasurer, whose stewardship has given us one of the strongest economies in the western world and the best economic position since World War II."
"We are here tonight, we have won our fourth successive victory, and we've won it for many reasons... we have worked together, we have been a team, we have not been a one man band."
"We are privileged to be able to participate in the great democracy. Let us remember today that the people of Afghanistan have had an election. And that election was made possible because of several nations that took a stand for democracy and against terrorism... We should be proud of the role we have played in their liberation. Just as we should be proud of the fact we have stood up for our values in other areas."
"The things that unite Australia should be much more important than the things that divide us."
"To be the Prime Minister of Australia is undoubtedly the greatest privilege that can come the way of any person."
"I serve the Australian people and I commit myself to their service in the years ahead."
Afghanistan voting..."We took a stand for democracy and liberation"..
In your honor and in that spirit, I will be donating a case of Fosters to the canteen at the local VFW post. And I'll be hoisting at least one myself in celebration.
