A reminder of the debt that Australia has, while Labor can bury their heads and deny it exists the fact remains we have a huge problem with debt and sooner than later the chips will fall, no business, no state and no country can keep operating in the red, eventually those we own the money to will own us. Who will own us?
The state of Qld has debt of $80 billion dollars, Labor are saying they don’t think it’s that bad, Bill Shorten on Australia’s debt, there is no debt crisis, there is a crisis and we are in this situation because of Labor, no one else and the bottom line is Labor can’t fix this problem, their speciality is creating debt not fixing debt.
Solved! Go to Solution.

None of the stuff in that table has any bearing on Tony Abbott's competency or as it turned out incompetency as a PM.
What is the source of that table (Abbott/Gillard) please?? Are all posters going to start posting unconfirmed info from Facebook in political threads now??
Nor does it change that fact that he did not pay child support for the years he did think he had a son. Nor did he show any interest in the child.
What's wrong with being an atheist?
Most of the list is based on the patriarchal values of the 50s. How is any of it relevant today?

Here's Malcom travelling today on official business by public rail. I wonder how he would adapt to being driven around in a
$550 000 bullet proof German made car! He usually drives himself to Parliament.

Icy that fraudster and sexual predator was a very long standing member for the liberal party ( for many years) before he came speaker
So,it was the LNP who supported him, until they decided to destroy him for political gain
Do you think he's OK now!
Fraudster? Over a couple of cab rides charged to the commonwealth that he offered to repay like every other member has the opportunity to, which amounted to about a tenth of what abbott had himself defrauded and repaid in the same year.

Yes, it was $200 or $400 dollars Glee, something like that they wouldn't allow him to pay it back

Tony Abbott
Married, 3 children and a mortgage
Julia Gillard
No children and no mortgage
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
That shows the intellect (or lack of) of the author who wrote that table..........
What does it tell us? If you have no children and no mortgage you can't be a Prime Minister? A MP with aspirations to be a PM one day - no go, if you don't have children and no mortgage.
Julie Bishop, is not married, has no children. Not sure about a mortgage, that's her business, not ours.
Anyone that owns a property and no mortgage is not to be scoffed at. Single, married, divorced no impact on whether a person does a good job or not.

Yes, good point.

Gillard didn't support a priest who was accused (convicted?) of molesting children................. good thing she is an atheist some would say.
Instead she invited a convicted fraudster and known sexual predator to become Speaker of the House.
Are you serious?
You actually equate a couple of cab fares with the rape of children?
That's a new low. I can't quite believe that anyone would rate child sex abuse on the same scale as using his driver for personal instead of business use (especially when every other member has been allowed to repay such errors)
And you're wrong. Gillard did not appoint a convicted fraudster. And those that make the accusation that he was a known sexual predator are those who were his friends until he took the job of speaker. If they had that knowledge why did they keep pre selecting him?
