Public servants should always be accountable and responsible for what they are advocating, and I challenge the American people to demand this from their representatives.

It is a duty of everyone to cooperate and help each other.

It is our job, our responsibility as their representatives to help them. If we choose not to do that, we should not be their representatives.

My focus and that of all members of the Government responsible for delivering services to the public is to make sure that the public sector can use all the skills it needs to do the job the public wants it to do.

I believe in public services.

Public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and to the nation.

I have always felt that public, commercial and community organisations should be as open as possible about their affairs. They need to be accountable to their owners, their customers, their members and communities and other interest groups.

I think good companies can navigate being public and doing the right things for their customers.

This is our job as leaders: to offer positive solutions and empower people. Our duty is to tackle our problems before they tackle us.
