A Quote by Barack Obama
I think it's important not to start drawing parallels, for example, between Theresa May, a fairly traditional conservative politician, who's now prime minister and Le Pen in France. Those aren't the same and the situation in each country is different.

My pitch is very simple. I'm Theresa May and I think I'm the best person to be prime minister of this country.
There are some issues where ministers should come and talk to the prime minister, if the prime minister hasn't already talked to them.

I was a very senior minister in the Howard government and I sat around this particular table [in the prime ministerial office] in many discussions.

These are human beings with real lives and the uncertainty and the fear that any of them face right now could be ended at a stroke if we had all the candidates for prime minister simply say that the right to remain here is not in question and I call again upon Theresa May and on the current prime minster to do that. That would be the humane thing to do and I even at this stage hope that that's a direction they will take.
