Tony Abbott is the Prime Minister so get used to it

Much of the political and media comment over the weekend suggested that quite a few Australians want Tony Abbott's ''stop the boats'' policy to fail. Not because they support people smugglers or because they are sympathetic to the Indonesian government. But because they have yet to accept the reality that Tony Abbott is prime minister and that his election-winning policies might work in government.


 

the Q&A program has its uses. If only in demonstrating how out of touch ABC producers and audiences are with the majority of Australians who have just elected the Coalition to one of the biggest victories in Australian political history.

 

Currently Labor, with the support of quite a few journalists, maintains that Abbott's ''stop the boats'' policy has failed. Yet, according to available statistics, there has been a reduction in unauthorised boat arrivals of 75 per cent since the Coalition was elected and Indonesia has accepted two out of four boats turned back by Australia.

 

 

Which suggests that the Abbott-has-failed line is premature at best and probably based on wish-fulfilment.

A3: "Tony Abbott is Prime Minister for now... just because you are elected PM for a 3 year term. doesn't mean you will always serve that whole term"

 

Chuckle.

 

Tthe ALP certainly proved that,  and not only for a  federal election but a caucus one as well.

Come on LL, , whilst you might fantasise, hope, wish, plead, beg,  why not wait for a year, or until 6 months after the new senators   are ensconced.

As for your prediction, like this one I would suggest apropos Cory Barnadi:

 

"I guess we will find out when Abbott gives him a ministry position John"

 

Waiting, waiting !!

well one prediction didn't come off, which is by any measure still a good record.  considering almost every thing else has come to pass. you also have to remember its early days yet.

I was referring to Julia & Kevin, that is why saying TA is PM get used to it, is a bold statement. Doesn't necessarily follow that he will continue as PM for the next 3 years.

He hasn't been able to shake off that nervous cough whilst he's been avoiding the media.

12 November

 

International Business Times - AU edition

 

For the first sitting week of the 44th parliament, Newspoll conducted exclusively for The Australian a survey which revealed that Prime Minister Tony Abbott's personal support decreased.

 

 
 There were two factors that contributed much to this descend in personal support: Mr Abbott was continuously being criticised about his claims of carbon tax repeal and Indonesia's hard attitude against Mr Abbott's asylum seekers policy.

 

The Latest Newspoll survey showed that dissatisfaction for Mr Abbott went up four percentage points from 34 per cent to 38 per cent; while satisfaction rating had plummeted from 47 per cent to 45 per cent.

Ahhh.....Gillard was PM and you could  never get used to it Nero, So I would suggest to stop being such a hypocrit.

 

The shoe is now on the other foot and you are all out of cut and pastes.
