Statement, Prime Minister's Office, Parliament House

The Liberal Party has dealt with the spill motion and now this matter is behind us.

We are absolutely determined to work for you, the people, who elected us.

We want to end the disunity and the uncertainty which destroyed two Labor governments, and give you the good government that you deserve.

We think that when you elect a government, when you elect a prime minister, you deserve to keep that government and that prime minister until you have a chance to change your mind.

So, the focus now is once more on jobs, families, a stronger economy and a secure nation.

We do face many challenges.

At heart, we are a highly successful country, justifiably proud of what we've achieved.

In essence, we are a strong economy with so much creativity and dynamism, and the challenge for government is to work with you, not against you.

I love this country, and I will do my best to help our country to succeed.
