TURNBULL OUTLINES HIS VISION FOR GOVERNMENT:
* "The party and the nation owes a great debt to Tony Abbott. The burden of leadership is heavy and the government under Tony Abbott has made formidable achievements including the free trade agreements and securing our borders.
* "Australia will now have an economic vision and a leadership that explains the great challenges and opportunities and how they can be seized in a manner that the Australian people understand through persuasion rather than lecturing.
* "This will be a thoroughly, thoroughly Liberal government committed to freedom, the individual and the market.
* "Australia of the future has to be a nation that is agile, innovative and creative.
* "There has never been a more exciting time to be alive and there has never been a more exciting time to be an Australian.
* "Leadership culture will be thoroughly consultative with a traditional cabinet government that ensures decisions are made in a collaborative manner.
* "To be a successful leader in 2015 or at any time you have to be able to bring people with you by respecting their intelligence in the way you explain. NZ Prime Minister John Key is the model for explaining complex issues and making the case for change, achieving significant economic reforms.
* There will be no early election - the parliament will serve its full term.
* There will be a ministerial reshuffle. He'll meet the ministry on Tuesday with a view to making changes next week.
* The government's climate policy is well-designed and will stay in place.
