Abbott is a liability to this country

I appreciate the fact that some people 'like' him

 

Seriously though, what is he going to come out with next?

 

Aren't you even slightly concerned?

Re: Abbott is a liability to this country

Next time an LNP member or journalist drops the “Abbott volunteers for weeks in Indigenous communities” line, call bleep  and then refer them to the figures. Three days and nearly $45000 in flights alone…, if that’s volunteering the rest of us are really doing it all wrong. Many of us, some one million odd Australians, do volunteer every year for community organisations, they slog their guts out, donate large amounts of money and never even ask for a thank you. The audacity of this public lie should be even more shocking when we remember that Indigenous life expectancy is at third world levels and Mr Abbott is racking up huge bills to do nothing about it while claiming credit for work he simply doesn’t do!

Christopher Pyne 

“We know that Tony Abbott works in Indigenous communities at least a week or two a year, and he has said that if he is elected Prime Minister that he will continue to do that and that he will take senior bureaucrats with him. He has done that in Cape York…”

 

 

 

 

MURDOCH – MEDIA LAWS

Peter McCann asked: Bruce Guthrie, the former editor of News Ltd’s Herald Sun wrote last Sunday that "there are two kinds of truth: what happened and what News Limited says happened. News does not play fair and it's not always troubled by the truth. "

 

Another journalist claimed that the current level of support in News Limited media for the Liberal and National parties was equivalent to multi-million dollar undeclared political donations. Is it not time for a major overhaul of media ownership laws and regulations to ensure balanced, fair and ethical reporting in Australia?

Re: Abbott is a liability to this country


 budget surplus left by the previous government!

The budget surplus was achieved by selling off any asset they could lay their hands on, not by economic management.  And Howard wasted billions by taking us to a war justified by false evidence.  War that devastated country, created a political vacuum which resulted in conflict that still goes on, and as people will be finding it increasingly impossible to live in Iraq, we will see more and more people leaving and searching for a better place to live.

"THE MYTH OF THE LIBERAL SURPLUS. That it was achieved by good Economic Management. here’s what Howard and Costello sold.

Commonwealth Bank: Howard And Floats 51% at $10.40 a share.
Commonwealth Funds Management: trade sale that raised $63 million.
Airports: sale of separate long-term leasehold interests in Brisbane,
Melbourne and Perth airports generating gross proceeds of $3.31 Billion.
Australian National Rail: trade sale that raised $95 million. Brisbane Airport trade sale that raised $1.4 billion. 
Melbourne Airport: trade sale that raised $1.3 billion. Perth Airport; trade sale that raised $643 million. 
Telstra: initial public float that raised $14.3 billion.
Adelaide Airport: sold to Parafield and Adelaide Airport LTD for $467 million.
Darwin & Alice springs Airport: sold to Alice Springs & Darwin International Airport PTY LTD for $108 Million.
Canberra airport: sold to Consortium led by the Snow Brother for $65 million.
Hobart airport: sold to Hobart international Airport PTY LTD for $35 million.
Australian Industry Development Corporation: trade sale that Raised $200 million.
Broadcast Australia: Howard sells the SBS and ABC transmission towers for $650 Million.
National Rail corporation and Freightcorp: Howard Government received $1.05 billion from Toll holdings and Patrick corp for it’s rail assets.
Sold 167 tonnes of gold, returning just $2.4billion for the gold that was sold via a “single broker engaged with out tender”.

IT WAS NOT GOOD ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT.

I WAS A GOOD OLD FASHIONED LNP FIRE SALE."
