Josh Frydenberg (Kooyong, Liberal Party, Minister for the Environment and Energy) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the member for Flynn his question. Paul Ramsay was a health pioneer and one of Australia's most successful businessmen. He cared deeply about our history, he cared deeply about our culture and he cared about our society. Like many on this side of the House, he was concerned that Australian universities were no longer teaching the basics of Western civilisation. As the member for Warringah reminded us, Paul, to take a leaf out of Monty Python, would often say, 'What has Western civilisation done for us?' How about democracy? How about freedom of speech? How about freedom of religion? How about the rule of law? How about intellectual and artistic curiosity? And how about market capitalism?
