The attraction of Tony Abbott

[silverfaun]

The reason why Tony Abbott will pull off the election of a generation is because he has drawn Australians back to the sensible centre of politics.

He is also only the 2nd opposition leader who narrowly won then lost  an election then led the party to a win the 2nd time.

Labor has lost all the so Called blue collar Howard battlers, the backbone of Labor voters & they have also lost the so called inner city latte voters who have deserted Labor for the Greens.

Abbott is now in the position of having to outline how he will manage the economy after he inherits  an economic landscape devastated by Labor,  littered with unexploded mines while Rudd has said little of substance running a dishonest scare campaign.

When all else fails for Labor we are confronted with  the re emergence of the misogyny wars after the demise of Julia Gillard. The outcry of the "sex appeal" by the elitists has backfired & gifted Fiona Scott the prize seat of Lindsey seeing the exit of David Bradbury. A innocent remarf blown up out of all proportion is just he type of thing fair dunkum Australians see nothing wrong with & are fed up with the interference & PC of a meddling government.

We are then presented with a PM who has the ability to lie to Australians by manipulating the crisis in Syria for political gain & expecting Australians to swallow it. He expects us to fall for the  staged photo op in Canberra with no minister for defence or any high level advisers, this done because the cooking show was leaked.

The straight talking honest campaign speech Tony Abbott delivered yesterday was the lifeline Australia needs, no grand cash splashes, no verbose overblown rhetoric we are so used to from Rudd & even worse under Gillard, no repetitive "moving forward or  A new Way " rote Australians were subjected to all the while seeing through it.

Australians will reject Rudd, the sophist, & it's not just the flick of the hair, the lick of the lips, it's his ability to lie with a straight face.

This election can be compared to watching a horse race with Black Cavier in it & Labor hoping she can't win.

yep and it was a stupid/ignorant  Gaffe by Tony Abbott

How was different to what Julia Gillard said?

The reason why I'm asking is because I have never seen you being as critical about her on this issue.

Meep, refer #10. I was following the discussion.

you obviously think you are entitled to free speech by keep on bringing it to people's attention on a public forum.

aren't you afraid someone is going to prevent you from doing that?

---

always ...are you aware of  a reason why my posts on this thread  may result in me not being able to post ? 

---

Who?  Who is going to prevent you form bringing up this Tony Abbott's legal issue or expressing your opinions about censorship in this country?

I want the truth and I want to know why it is that our news media isn't telling us about the Legal matters which currently relate to Tony Abbott ...an MP who is very soon to stand for Federal election .He could be our next PM ...this isn't a joke...what now seems even more obvious and more of a joke is the imbalance of media attention ..

Finger pointing,accusations and comments that such and such said that Julia Gillard being investigated ....over and over and over 

Where is our news about Tony Abbott's legal matter ? 

That doesn't matter ,we don't need to know ..because it's ...Tony Abbott ????? OMG ...I'd laugh if this wasn't so important 

---

Is this the same legal matter you keep referring to that Monman has responded to and clarified more than once?

---

yes .If anyone is aware of the result or if there is a result (determined by those with the Authority to do so) of the current legal proceedings ? or even when things are to happen if they haven't.I think the Australian public should be informed...being informed matters to me.No disrespect to the clarification of past legal matters posted by posters here .

OK, thanks Iza.  Have to go.  Have a lovely afternoon.

I think we can all rest assured that Tony is not a criminal, has not committed a criminal act but is being harrassed by union thugs to extort money. Until there is proof otherwise it's prudent to wait & see.

Etteridge has a poor record of honesty but if you feel so stronly about it post the court dates & updates of any transcripts, which will be in the public domaiN, on here & I'm sure we will all be very glad to read them & comment on them but at the moment there's nothing to report. Ther is no cover up otherwise you wouldn't have anything to say about it on here.

As for the phone hacking in the UK, well that was in the UK, not here, our Australian journalists & media has not been committed with any wrongdoing so I'm sure we have a free & democratic press. There are left & right leaning journalists (see David Marr) so we take the good with the bad.

too many contradictions for some things  to make sense .

Mr Abbott has been questioned about this on more than one occasion and has given his position.  Here it is again:

Asked whether he could guarantee he would not invoke his Catholic Faith in policymaking, Mr Abbott said:  "Yes I can"

"Faith is important to me.  It's important to millions of Australians.  It helpd to shape who I am.  It helps to shape my values.  But it must never, never, dictate my politics......"

Right, is it the same Mr.Abbott who want every child to be "taught" the bible?  I believe in freedom of religion, and that includes freedom from religion, I do not want my child or grandchild to to be taught religion at school. 
And how about the right of choice?  TA's agenda is to make abortion not accessible to women.

This reminds me of all the OMG OMG OMG OMG  a Labor MP took an oath on the Koran during the swearing in ceremony. OMG

Who are you talking to, Freaki?
