Without justice you won't have stability.
Violence would be a huge gift to those who want a divided Lebanon.
The main problem that we have in Lebanon, and in the region, is we don't have a real peace process and I think this is the main focal problem that we have in the region.
Nobody's going to give you everything on a silver tray. It's going to be difficult.
It's very easy to have slogans and rhetoric that people will follow, but eventually the slogans fall away.
In Lebanon, it's never over for anyone. You cannot write off anyone or anything in this country.
I have popular support.
I don't operate under threats. Full stop. I don't. I don't buckle to pressure.
I believe a relationship with a country is simply bound to the interests of two countries and not by personal issues.
Although sometimes I might sound sometimes idealist or too optimistic but I think my father used to say to me in everything bad there's something good that is going to come out of it and there will always be a tomorrow.
Justice is revenge.
I know the district. I know a lot of people in the district. I know how to get where I'm going.
We have lost all our big Australian industries and icons, including Qantas when it sold 25 % of its shares and a controlling interest to British Airways.
We are regarded as a Third World country with First World living conditions.
To survive in peace and harmony, united and strong, we must have one people, one nation, one flag.

The majority of Aboriginals do not want handouts because they realise that welfare is killing them.
The government must do all it can to help reduce interest rates for business.
It is refreshing to be able to express my views without having to toe a party line. It has got me into trouble on the odd occasion, but I am not going to stop saying what I think.
In this financial year we will be spending at least $1.5 billion on foreign aid and we cannot be sure that this money will be properly spent, as corruption and mismanagement in many of the recipient countries are legend.
If politicians continue to promote separatism in Australia, they should not continue to hold their seats in this parliament. They are not truly representing all Australians, and I call on the people to throw them out.
I will fight hard to keep my seat in this place, but that will depend on the people who sent me here.
I may be only a fish and chip shop lady, but some of these economists need to get their heads out of the textbooks and get a job in the real world. I would not even let one of them handle my grocery shopping.
I come here not as a polished politician but as a woman who has had her fair share of life's knocks.
I believe we are in danger of being swamped by Asians.
Governments must give to all those who have hit life's hurdles the chance to rebuild and have a future.
We must look after our own before lining the pockets of overseas countries and investors.
We have one of the highest interest rates in the world, and we owe more money per capita than any other country. All we need is a nail hole in the bottom of the boat and we're sunk.
My view on issues is based on common sense, and my experience as a mother of four children, as a sole parent, and as a businesswoman running a fish and chip shop.
