Tony Abbott does have policies and I think we should discuss them :)

Paid parental leave is a great idea but isn't it going to cost tax payers a fortune and favour the highly paid workers?

That is how I read it.

[donnashuggy]

That sounds like you believe it should benefit mostly those on a high income John?

Doesn't appeal to me as a policy if that is the case.

You overlook the overall supportive reaction of the economists, academics, and  financial journalist , like Kohler,  to the social ramifications of the Henry Tax Review free from political dogma.

I like the idea actually monman, where are the costings?

Of what?

 It is silly enough arguing a position based upon only what you believe, but to then debate a point based upon what you suggest someone else might believe is ludicrous.

However, if social welfare payments should be at a flat rate, so should the tax rate of the major source of the funding!

Paid parental leave. Sounds like a huge drain on the tax payer but what would I know? 😄

It;s his one and only stated policy. I happen to agree with him.

But the irony is that he will never get it in cause his own party don't endorse it.

Did I hear the words "lack of consultation" being bandied about this last week or so??:|

[monman12]

NW, politics is a bear pit, and here a Sandpit. The matriarch in the former was judged unsuited, and here the matriarchs gnash their teeth in understandable "frustration" and grasp at straw polls.

c'est la vie

I'm a bit confused. I thought I'd go looking on twitter for people spreading the good word about the Libs.

first I searched for lnp policies, then I searched for vote lnp. NO positive tweets that I could see, just jokes and funny pics :^O

what should I search for to find the lnp supporters? Or policies?

True, let me give you a hint:  "corporate levy"
