Tomorrow marks 100 days since the election.
 
I want to update you on the progress that the Coalition Government has made in implementing our Plan to build a strong, prosperous economy and a safe, secure Australia.
 
We are purposefully, carefully and methodically putting in place policies to help families by reducing their cost-of-living pressures, improving job security, encouraging small business and delivering better services.

As you will see, the Government is keeping its commitments and implementing the plan we took to the election. 
 
We are the Government that will scrap the Carbon Tax, end the waste, get the Budget back under control, stop the boats and build the infrastructure of the 21st century. 
 
These are the practical measures that will help our country get ahead – as well as help you and your family plan your future with confidence.
 
My pledge is that we will not let up in 2014: every day we will keep building the stronger country that all Australians want and deserve.

And I notice that they haven't actually included the things that they HAVE actually done that have caused them enormous embarressment - like remove money from childcare or the Gonski debacle.

Just lots of pathetic insignificance.

And what is the point of putting something like "repealling the Carbon Tax" in when nothing has been achieved and nothing will from the sounds of things. That's not a sucess Abbott. It is a FAILURE as you have yet to do it.

What a nong.

19 November 2013

The Abbott government is set to blow a hole in its budget plans by rethinking an election promise to axe 12,000 federal public servants.

The decision was made after the new government was informed that funding and program cuts implemented by the previous Labor government, which it adopted, will lead to the loss of almost 14,500 public sector jobs over the next four years.

While “still inclined” to axe another 12,000 positions, the government will put the plan on hold and ask its ­Commission of Audit chairman Tony Shepherd to “review the timing and approach” of the policy.

Sources said this meant the plan could be slowed down, scaled back or otherwise readjusted to ensure departments are adequately staffed to deliver the Coalition’s policy priorities.

The setback has budget implications on two fronts. The government must find hundreds of millions of dollars to top up the budgets of departments that will have to pay voluntary redundancies for the 14,500 people who leave over the next four years.

Under program changes and the ­efficiency dividends imposed across the public sector by Labor and adopted by the Coalition, provision was made to fund just 800 voluntary redundancies.

Any slowing or reduction of the ­Coalition plan to axe 12,000 more jobs will eat into the $5.2 billion this promise had been budgeted to del­iver over four years, all jeopardising its plan to return to surplus by 2016-17.

Empty promises belong la la land.

12,000 sackings.That's gotta be worth at least 2 or 3 federal seats.Go on. Sack the lot of 'em.

I'd like to know how much that spam booklet cost the taxpayer...and why was it necessary to spruik the fake achievements,... have the polls panicked him? Apparently expensive political manipulation is acceptable even though we have a "budget emergency".

I feel a bit embarrassed for them, especially after seeing business leaders laughing at them. Soon their only supporters will be the paid spammers haha.

[spotweldersfriend]

And Rupert.

[just_me_karen]

Yes, and Rupert...although I count him in as a spammer, due to the quality of his products.

Another broken promise:

Tony Abbott's broken promise to early childcare workers is a cruel betrayal

Too scared to break yet another election commitment, the Coalition asked child care providers to break it for them. Our childhood workforce has once more been let down and ripped off.

..... it was not to be – the twists and turns and weasel words continued. In one of the most seriously peculiar and desperately cruel government announcements yet, this week we learned it was all off. The government would honour these contracts, assistant minister Ley informed us, but then they’d ask the sector to “do the right thing” and give the money straight back so it can be spent on training

But it is not correct LL, the LNP has done.a great job so far even if the knockers remain negative, it will take a long time to clean up the mess that it took labor 6 years to create.but they will do it with positive policies and hard decisions.

14 December

The last two significant polls - Fairfax/Nielsen and Newspoll - both have the the Coalition in a much worse position than at the September 7 election. Indeed, those polls, the worst for a new government in Australian polling history, placed the Coalition so far behind Labor that if an election had been held in the past month, they suggested a Labor prime minister would be at the dispatch box rather than Abbott.

The attempt to remove the carbon tax is stalled, the business of stopping the boats has been rolled into a secretive military operation that now has no co-operation from Indonesia, the budget's ''believable surplus'' may or may not be on track - economic forecasts regularly prove unreliable - and it won't be long before no Australian-made cars will be on those roads of the 21st century.
