Does this guy ever shut up?

PM material do you think?

Undecided voters cheered him, makes you wonder whether they were really undecided.

It's not what you do in a debate in my view.

Penny Wong has described Tony Abbott as aggressive. I maintain he is a bit of a thug.

Oh and you can vote here, http://www.abc.net.au/news/thedrum/polls/

He knows one such guff comment per day will give him the media time without focus on policy.

The comment showed he was defeated and exasperated, way to go Tone.

IMO that's no way to answer a question

It just shows that TA is unfit to be a PM; I can just see how he will be on the international stage if he cannot get his way.

Who won last night’s debate? Ask make-up artist Lily Fontana:

Just finished doing Kevin Rudd and Tony Abbott’s makeup for the People’s Forum at the Broncos League...

One of them was absolutely lovely, engaged in genuine conversation with me, acknowledge that I had a job to do and was very appreciative. The other did the exact opposite! Oh boy, I have ever had anyone treat me so badly whilst trying to do my job. Political opinions aside...from one human being to another...Mr Abbott, you win hands down.

Reader ausebell has a similar measure:

At the end of the night when Abbott invited the crowd to ‘ask more questions of him’ we saw Abbott swamped with people, while Rudd looked a lonely figure as a couple of young men wanted a selfie with him. No-one wanted to speak with him. He left after 5 minutes while Abbott stayed for another 1/2 hour, with a line of people wanting to meet and speak with him. I don’t think they noticed Rudd leave and I doubt they really cared.

you paying for protection or something ?

Galaxy pollster David Briggs said the  hand-picked audience was chosen from among the 15,000 interviews conducted as part of election surveying.

Polled after the debate, the 105-member audience gave Mr Abbott a narrow win, 37 votes to Mr Rudd's 35. But 33 people - nearly a third of those at the club - were undecided.

The above figures, allowing for the undecided to be distributed in the same ratio as the LIB : ALP choices,   results in 51.4 : 48.6. which  would be a fair reflection of the current national figures.

I will spare the red tongued Myopics the current  betting odds!
