Bah bye Tone

[fiestas*girl]

OMG I am so glad! - phew my ears could not take it anymore

all that umming and ZA ing and not actually saying anything was murdering my ears, seriously, place yourself ion public office -LEARN HOW TO SPEAK FIRST!!

Now we have a leader who has statesman material and can actually speak eloquently and concisley!

[opmania]

Good bye sweet Tony

You did your best

Alas you belong in the days of

Yore

When a man was measured

By his integrity and not by the

Size of his ears

Alas there is no place for an 

Honest politician in today's

World

Run as fast as you can 

Or on your bike

Away from the ruthless scoundrels

That would stab you in the back

You stopped the boats

For this you will be remembered

Great captains call

[nevynreally]

Surely you're taking the proverbial?

[opmania]

Nope

[j*oono]

Kicking the Abbott - The Saturday Paper editorial

It is no exaggeration to say Tony Abbott is the worst prime minister Australia has had. To the extent that his brief and destructive leadership of the country is remembered, it will not be remembered well.

Abbott is a prime minister without a legacy. In attempting to defend one this week, he came up with not much: some jobs, a few trade agreements, an infrastructure project, a border protection regime founded on human rights abuses, a royal commission so compromised by bias its own commissioner had to consider removing himself.

Abbott governed for the past and the few conservatives desperate to continue living there. He governed against science and in contempt of the environment. He governed in opposition to social equality, in terror of reform. His was a government of fear and avoidance, a rolling sideshow anxiously avoiding the fact it had nothing to add and no idea what to do.

He will not be missed. He should not be praised. He was a failure selfishly wishing that the world would fail with him. We can only hope his like will not be seen again.

"He was a failure selfishly wishing that the world would fail with him."

That can only mean he'll end up as a DARLING of the U.S. GOP.
