Today, we celebrate radio as a force for freedom of expression and pluralism, for all men and women. And especially women–who remain under-represented in news-making, in decision-making, and in media ownership. How can we get the full story with only half of the world’s voices? This is why UNESCO is working to develop radio as an independent and pluralistic media for both wo...

Over six years, Labor ran up a $667 billion debt on the nation’s credit card. Every single month this debt is costing us a billion dollars just to cover the interest bill. You didn’t ask for Labor’s legacy of debt, but you did ask for a government with a plan and the will to fix it. So last Tuesday, the Treasurer Joe Hockey handed down our first Budget. It is a tough Budget ...

THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. Happy Friday. I thought I’d take some questions, but first, let me say a few words about the economy. This morning, we learned that our economy created over 200,000 new jobs in July. That’s on top of about 300,000 new jobs in June.
