the abbott has hit a new low, which is low - what a whiner - I so wish the Pope would pay the toad a little visit - Medicare is NOT FREE, WE PAY FOR IT. So it's only wasteful spending when we demand that OUR money is spent on US, he is an utter disgrace and obviously cranky that he can't give even more of our collective wealth to his rich parasitic mates. sigh......

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has expressed his frustrations to world leaders at his inability to impose a $7 fee on GP visits and blamed voters who love free government programs for supporting wasteful spending.

In his opening address to world leaders gathered for the Leaders' Retreat at Queensland's State Parliament, Mr Abbott spruiked his successes at stopping asylum seekers travelling to Australia by boat and his repeal of carbon pricing.  

The address was soon attacked by Labor leader Bill Shorten as "weird and graceless".

In his televised speech, Mr Abbott also "thanked God" he had stopped the "illegal boats", noted that the former Labor government's carbon tax is "gone" and underlined his plan to build more roads.

The real way to change Australia is for people to abandon voting for the same political parties; it is always the same result;

LABOR

LIBERAL

then,

LABOR

LIBERAL

then,

LABOR

LIBERAL

AND again,

LABOR

LIBERAL

**********

We can't change Australia with the same people running it.

We got to change to a new FRESH political party.  I'm not telling you how to vote but if you want to remain on the same path just keep voting the same way and we'll get the same result over and over again. Labor, Liberal, Labor, Liberal, Labor, Liberal and so on... is this what you want to see?

I'm voting for someone new.

4 Dead After Knife, Ax-Wielding Attackers Storm Jerusalem Synagogue

Assailants wielding knives and axes forged an attack on a synagogue in Jerusalem today, with at least four people dead and two of the attackers killed by police, a spokesman with Israel Police said.

The attack happened in Har Nof, an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood with a population of 20,000 residents.

The area near the synagogue is closed off, and people injured in the attack have been transported to Jerusalem hospitals, Micky Rosenfeld, a spokesman for Israel Police, said.

I think I'm going to have to change my daily newspaper.

One of the clues in yesterday's crossword was "Scripture contained in a book or a novel." (bolding is mine for the benefit of the cryptically challenged.)

We only have one daily in this State so I am being forced against my will to put up with this subversive rubbish - if I grovel to Rupert do you think he'd buy them out?.

So 2 Palestinians commit an act of terror, and the way Israel deals with it is arrest their family members and demolish their houses.... How is that justice? Yet we are told Israel is the only democracy in the middle east...
