i'm not sure its sour grapes though

i think its the inability to give the bloke a chance

early days yet and i think he will surprise many

looks a good solid leader to me, genuine and trustworthy

I'm surprised Joz.  Welfare will be the least of Tony's concerns.  I hope for your sake that you are right.

[cherry*135]

Thumbs down, for the previous post. Some can't resist personal attacks can they?

[j*oono]

No, it's true Am.  Joz has said several times that this is the case.

How would you assess the comments og Gillard...."there will be no carbon Tax....." and Krudds PNG rort policy?

[izabsmiling]

I'm curious to see if David Ettridge did as only recently reported/claimed (in one newspaper in an article re Barnaby Joyce and One Nation) drop the case against TA in June .

or if Independent Australia (IA) reported on July 31st .. in a statement made by  David Ettridge that it remains 'in train' .

you forgot the end of the sentence where she said there would be a price on carbon

you also forgot Abbott said why not put a simple tax on carbon?

I agree Joz, some say that he is not a good public speaker, but so what? it is the content of what is being said and done that should be taken notice of and  not the constant hot air promises without substance that we have had over 6 years.

some say hes not the best speaker but i disagree, i think hes an excellent communicator. perhaps some should stop seeing him as the oposition leader, he is now the leader and will step up the mark

and yeah so what, its not all about image, hes got the best interest at heart and that is australia
