As a counter point to the endless complaining about the government who was elected by a huge majority to govern and implement their policies which they took to an election I thought a balance of articles would be fair comment.
The sheer hatred for the Abbott is here to see after the left went after his daughter. I hear no squealing about hacking about this hateful concocted plan to destroy a young women to get to her father.

Hello, everyone. This discussion is getting a little heated. Could we please communicate with a more civil tone. Thanks!

Allowing a hostile nipe to remain even though its written backwards does not help a civil debate which was what we all having.

This Govt is in trouble
Members of the government are getting cranky with each other, but the problem is a collective one. Wherever individual fault might lie, it’s certainly true that the government as a whole has failed as a force for persuading, for implementing and for succeeding.

A thread with the title of " Diary of the Sinking Right" would be apt.

Here's the thing. More than half of the population voted them in. Rightly or wrongly. Both sides have a right to be heard, not just one, or is this forum not a part of a democratic society?
Neither side do the population justice. Politics has become about gameplaying rather than making a real difference, on both sides. Oh, can I say that here?

The voting was done in Sept 2013. Why don't you take into account that alot of people have changed their minds since then and regret voting for the LNP?? That is a lame argument now 10 months later.
Why don't you take into account Abbott's popularity slipping continually in the polls since the election. He does not have the support from voters he had at the time of the election anymore.
Do you really think Uni students, unemployed people under 30, DSP beneficiaries aged pensioners, families (FTB cuts, $7 medical fee at bulk bill clinics) etc are going to vote for the LNP at the next election?
NO LNP supporters here ever discuss the proposed cuts in the budget for or against.. they just want to talk about Julia Gillard or Swan or Labor pre Sept 2013.... WHY?

You didn't answer my question
Both sides should be allowed to post what they want, not just one.

You read the wrong media if you think the majority are not completely satisfied with the government.
I suppose if you hang out on here everyday and kudo like minded posters (you know who they are) one could see why you are under that misapprehension.

Obviously even the mere mention of Gillard and her fellow travellers is enough to send chills down the spines of the left on here.
They want to forget the last 6 years ever happened.
Here’s a clue! Australians will never forget being shafted and brutalised by Labor.

So LNP supporters want to post about the last Labor Govt and never comment on the serious issues that face Australians today? like the proposed Budget cuts? Why is that?
