We preserve the status quo, preserve existing systems.

Australia has an increasingly multicultural society.

Advances in science and medical research and public health policies have meant that life expectancy for Australians is one of the highest in the world.

Today it has been estimated that the average 70 year old has four chronic conditions and consumes an average of 35 PBS scripts per year for those conditions.

When the Australian Government looked at how to meet the challenges, and the opportunities, presented by our ageing population, it saw that an all-encompassing approach was a prerequisite.

At the last census it indicated that about 22 per cent of Australians were born overseas.

The strongest initiative that government can take to ensure Australia is prepared for population ageing, is to maintain a strong economy, and a secure nation.

Prevention is one of the few known ways to reduce demand for health and aged care services.

We know we are entering a period of transformation in aged care.

Dementia is not exclusively a problem of the developed world.

Greater public recognition will also be critical in encouraging prevention and early intervention, and more generally in building public support to meet the challenges of dementia.

Australia is already a world leader in dementia research, treatment and care.

Community care is a fundamental, an essential, an enduring part of our aged care system.

Synergy and serendipity often play a big part in medical and scientific advances.

We preserve the status quo, preserve existing systems.

We know that so many of the conditions and diseases that we associate with ageing can often be prevented or in fact their onset delayed if we just took preventative steps earlier in our lives.

We are increasingly recognising and accepting, respecting and celebrating, our cultural diversity.

Our cultural diversity has most certainly shaped our national character.

We are already seeing older people wanting greater choice in how, when and where they receive care.

Ageing means a loss of a number of skills over time.

And I believe that the best buy in public health today must be a combination of regular physical exercise and a healthy diet.

It is a fact that governments tend to put in place policies and strategies in response to current scenarios.

The Australian economy is resilient, but business and consumer confidence is fragile.

The Gillard government must give up its addiction to wasteful spending borrowing and taxing.

The message from the United States and Europe is that governments must live within their means.

There are genuine concerns about the status of children to be sent to Malaysia and also there are genuine concerns about the human rights record in Malaysia.

Well they're very, very genuine concerns at present as to the status of the 800 people who are to be sent by Australia to Malaysia. There's concern about the status of asylum seekers in Malaysia generally, but there's concern about the status of the 800 to be sent.

A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.

People should try and look for something that constantly keeps them motivated, and they start enjoying what they are doing.

Many people struggle with losing weight and then regaining it. But there is no convincing evidence that the effort to lose weight actually promotes more weight gain in the long run.

The Media is ruled by Satan. But yet I wonder if many Christians fully understand that.

The key to why things change is the key to everything.

Dont ever let someone tell you you cant do something. Not even me. You got a dream you got to protect it.

When you're actually making the film, you're constantly battling to maintain its integrity.

Well, let's put in this way, I grew up in West New York, New Jersey.

I grew up in a flat with my brothers and my cousins. My brothers were in the same bed.

As long as Pete and Joe are there, it's gonna be jumping.

I want to do work that means something to me so that when I go to work at the theater eight times a week, I want to be there.

Pumpkin spice lattes are egg nog for morning people.

The same song can have drastically different feels and personalities just by changing some minor things. A different drumbeat or some vocal overdub could completely transform the song.

I'm into sincerity in music and sincerity in art. If it doesn't feel true, I don't want to do it. Things that are too dramatic scare me. I think that's why I don't always fit into the world of performing arts.

People flash back to pictures of me when I was 12 and say 'Kylie's so different,' but how can I look the same from 12 -18?

Keep your eyes on the horizon and your nose to the wind.

I am absolutely convinced there should be financial and political incentives for states to declare. You shouldn't be the pariah of the world if you say you have Ebola, but in reality this is what happens.

I think what coaching is all about, is taking players and analyzing there ability, put them in a position where they can excel within the framework of the team winning. And I hope that I've done that in my 33 years as a head coach.

During the 19th-century struggle for women's rights in America, many saw a competition between rights for black people and those for women.

Real Men stay faithful. They don't have time to look for other women because they're too busy looking for ways to love their own.

I absolutely intend to return every penny given to me by my Democratic colleagues and Democratic leaders.

I teach in the medical school, the School of Public Health, the Kennedy School of Government, and the Business School. And it's the best perch... because most of my work crosses boundaries.
