Kim Beazley Quotes
This is a shameless, shameful moment ... as the government bulldozes through the sale of Telstra legislation... And it's a sad moment for the Australian people who are overwhelmingly opposed to the sale... We witnessed both in this chamber and over in the other chamber an almost obscene dancing by our political opponents when this legislation passed through.

Politics calls for robust debate and criticism, but this should never descend to personal and demeaning slurs.

Two or three big, all-embracing ideas, presented confidently, could have won him the 1998 election. But there seemed something within Beazley that shied away from big, all-embracing ideas, or even speaking directly. Appropriately, he began presenting himself as the nice guy - Snugglepot with brains. When the actual election campaign began he could have [arisen] in a blaze of illumination as the statesman with answers, presenting a big picture of an Australia that had a place in its own future. He went on talking, but the only transformation was that Snugglepot became Cuddlepie.
