Tony Abbott's Support Page

[icyfroth]

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.

A bit late to be complaining,vic.You should have taken that up with Rupert 40 years ago.

Don't worry, I am a proponent of spreading FUD about people.

Fear, Uncertainty and Derision ( or doubt)

It works.

Just another 'hateful comment and lets do another attack on Abbott today'' by the poster
At the same time as accusing others

It works both ways.

Very hypocritical.

Have a good day LOL

Thanks so much for posting icy. I am afraid that no matter how many times Labor and the leftits are shown the full extent of the massive debt Australia faces all they can focus on is:

• Disruption in the house
• Blindness in the senate refusing to cooperate in dealing with debt
• Union lies on show in the NSW election
• Character assasination of the PM 
• Bleating that the govt is dysfunctional, this coming from them!

Oh hell, the list is endless.

Ít would have been nice to see the Abbott govts budget passed and them allowed to get on with it,
As they were elected to do with a mandate.

Why have elections if they cant govern after that ?

There's a song that goes like this:

I'm a bow legged chicken I'm a knock kneed hen.

It reminds me of Bill, does he wear a brace? what's the go with his peculiar walk? and the line across his back?  and pigeon chest? also why doesn't he pronounce "w"?  what's wiv the wiv speak.

Abbott set the standard by running amok during the previous govt's term.  He can't trash the joint then expect everyone to oblige him.

There's a good David Marr piece on Abbott in the Saturday paper today.

a taste of said article

In Tony Abbott’s world you hold inquiries to stitch up your opponents. You face down calls for a royal commission into the rorts of the financial services industry and hold one into crooked unions. You break an old and wise convention against trolling through the papers of a defeated government to score a few points against Kevin Rudd’s chaotic administration.

Abbott isn’t constrained by consequences. In government as in opposition, there is no tomorrow with this man. He is unafraid to trash conventions and rewrite old rules. There’s no plan behind this, no radical purpose. He just does what it takes to win the contest at hand. 

As a bovver boy for B. A. Santamaria at university this carelessness for the future didn’t matter much. Student politicians aren’t around for long. They have their day and move on. But damage done in Canberra lasts. 

Abbott doesn’t set out to break the law. That’s not the point. But when the law stands between him and a quick win, he shows contempt for its values, its customs and the part they play in national life. 

Everyone curious about the blooding of the prime minister knows about the raucous politics of his youth. But something else happened – or failed to happen – at Sydney University. Abbott studied but never came to love the law.

Nice? Governments don't run on 'nice'.

Major Budget proposals were/are defective/duds - it would not be in the best interests of  Australians to have them passed.

Instead of compromising/adujsting some measures Abbott was all 'nope we are sticking with that', then he backflipped on some (medicare) anyway.

That Budget was when it started really going downhill for Abbott.

What is he going to do next Budget (if he was still around) give handouts to families to buy votes - that is not going to reduce the deficit.
