"We have, as
you know, taken a very strong line on national security and border protection
here and when I was speaking with Jared Kushner just the other day, and one of
your immigration advisers in the White House, we reflected on how our policies
have helped to inform your approach," Mr Turnbull told the president. We
are very much of the same mind." [Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Bligh Turnbull speaking with US
President Donald J. Trump in early 2017, quoted by
the Newcastle
Herald, 21 June 2018]
"You ever
notice they always call the other side 'the elite'…The elite! Why are they
elite? I have a much better apartment than they do. I'm smarter than they are.
I'm richer than they are. I became president and they didn't." [US President Donald
J. Trump speaking at a Minnesota rally, The
Sydney Morning Herald, 21 June 2018]
“It's what Labor used to stand for, but no more. This privileged elite
opposite wants to keep the workers in their place. I remember when the Labor
Party had members that had really worked. I look at this group of
university-educated apparatchiks and I don't see any Jack Fergusons there.
I see an educated, privileged class that wants to kick the ladder out so
that others can't realise their dreams.” [Malcolm Bligh Turnbull in a moment of political projection, Hansard,
19 June 2018]
