Great job Joe
Were we watching the same show??
He didn't disprove anything because he didn't answer anything. Jones let him ramble on and ONLY "shut him down" when he rambled too far from the question and the original audience member wanted/needed to clarify in order to get him back on track.
The only major interruption occurred at the start when someone heckled him and Jones handled that swiftly and firmly and it didn't happen again.
The only person that got "shut down" was Jones when Hockey would arrogantly put his palm in Jones face to stop Jones from requesting him to stick to topic.
He had a whole hour to prove himself with no interruptions, no debate and with a predominantly LNP audience. And yet he still came across as seriously untrustworthy and untruthful.
There were conditions attached to his appearance.
No heckling from audience
No pressure to answer from Jones

Sorry I don't know for if you are an Aussie or not...I just assumed and I shouldn't.
Yep, true blue Aussie Iza.
The stupid questions made my eyes roll, the Tresurer was just repeating himself and I had to wonder if these people had read the news at all.
It's like they didn't even want to listen to him.

Crystal, there wasn't much to listen to, he continually repeated his rehearsed spiel, he failed to answer the questions being asked of him, he was a JOKE.

I heard heaps of answers, I even made hubby sit down to listen to the show cause he had had a few questions himself. He too found it quite informative.
Just to let everyone know we are neither labor or lib people.

Azure, you have said on more than one occasion that you think Hockey doesn't look well. I am watching QandA atm, and agree with you. He has the pasty look of a cardiac patient, and I would not be surprised if he collapses before the hour is over or soon after. I know he didn't, of course, but he certainly is not well.

I think he did a great job trying to sell a hard budget... people always hate it when you take something away from them... I can remember the disapproval when Howard was giving this money away and now that Joe is trying to rein it all in they hate him too...
What about all the Boo's throught??? Set up Audience for sure...
