Federal Cabinet met in Canberra today, for the first time in 2014.
With cameras present for a photo opportunity before Cabinet got down to business, Prime Minister Tony Abbott made brief opening comments, reiterating the government’s commitment to “calm, measured, purposeful action”, deficit reduction and stopping the boats.
Abbott said: “Obviously over the next year there is going to be a lot of noise but we as a government know what we are doing and we are going to get it done. We know what we are doing and we are going to get it done.”
