The weird thing is that the part of the speech that baffles me the most comes right near the end, when he said "We do not need laws to compel people to be considerate to others."

The only reason 90% of our laws even exist is to compel people to be considerate to others! Murder - very inconsiderate to others. Theft, fraud, assault, drunk and disorderly - all very inconsiderate behaviours. Even things like negligent homicide where the crime is accidental can often be down to the person not properly considering the likely consequences of their actions.

How does someone who becomes Prime Minister not understand what laws are for? FFS!
