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.

 The Abbott government has committed Australia to joining the next big global climate pact.

The global accord is to be agreed in Paris in December. Countries are announcing their carbon targets to take effect from 2020, with the US pledge expected next week.

"A strong and effective global agreement, that addresses carbon leakage and delivers environmental benefit, is in Australia's national interest," states an issues paper to be published today by the Prime Minister's Department.

The paper sets to rest the fear among environmentalists that the Abbott government would be overrun by climate sceptics and refuse to consider further cuts to carbon output.

A segment from the middle of the article by Tony Windsor, I felt sorry for Tony Abbott.  

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/life/weekend-australian-magazine/tony-windsor-i-felt-sorry-for-tony-...

Job done. Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott didn’t know our decisions before we made our statements. This was deliberate as we believed the Australian people should learn of our determination at the same time.

After our announcement we went to Abbott’s office. We’d had a fair bit of contact with the receptionist in his office over the ­previous two weeks and she was as pleasant as ever as we waited, saying, “I’ll let him know you are here.” Another of his staff came and told us, “He would like to see you but there are a few people with him, can you wait a bit while he gets himself together?” David Barnett, the former press secretary to Malcolm Fraser, came by and was clearly not happy. Bronwyn Bishop appeared and told us, “You will rue the day you did this.” Truss wished us well, while saying he wasn’t happy with the announcement. Ever the gentleman, I think he understood the process we had embarked on. We finally went into Abbott’s office and shared a cup of tea with him. He was obviously disappointed but he wasn’t aggressive. He was accepting of the result.

Rob and I next went to see Gillard. She was in her office with Swan and her staff. They were delighted and a few staff members were crying. We shook hands with Gillard and embraced.

While I hoped for a more civil parliament, I was not so naive as to believe we would all be holding hands and singing Kumbaya around the campfire to work harmoniously together for the benefit of the nation. Sadly, within days Abbott adopted the position that he would treat the hung parliament like any other parliament.

In a hung parliament the opposition leader potentially had as much power as the prime minister in relation to policy. He could have embarrassed the government by introducing better policy. It was an open book in terms of legislation. But he decided to be an opposition to a minority parliament. Abbott didn’t handle the rejection very well and with each day that passed his behaviour only reinforced to me that I had made the right decision. He was interested only in gaining power and set about doing everything in his capacity to bring down the Gillard Government. “I’ll be in the Lodge by Christmas” was the mantra.

Windsor, the little bitter man now searching for relevancy. None of his  accusation's have been proved, no person ever witnessed them or heard them and the PM has denied all of Windsors hate filled utterances.

His hate is palpable.

But the left on here just lap it up as if the sermon on the mount has been re jigged.

Another of his staff came and told us, “He would like to see you but there are a few people with him, can you wait a bit while he gets himself together?”

Has he "got himself together" yet?    I see no evidence that he has.

Windsor is a a retired man who can hold his head high knowing he did the right thing.  There is no bitterness on display. 

The palpable hate you feel doesn't emanate from Tony Windsor.

The world of politics was rocked to its core this week following another wild outbreak of leadership speculation and unrest that has shaken the corridors of Canberra to their foundations.

"This has been simmering away in the background for months now," said one unnamed insider from within the highest echelons of the parliamentary party, "but now the lid's blown right off it! The dam has burst! Kapow! Everybody's had it up to here with the endless stupidity, the ridiculously clumsy speech patterns and the hopeless, woeful leadership.

But above all, it's the opinion polls. Last week's was a disaster. That was the final straw. He'll be gone by next week."

The insider was of course referring to the doomed leadership of Bill Shorten, with whispers rife throughout the Labor Party that even members of his own frontbench no longer believe he can win the next election. "It should have been a shoo-in," one disgruntled frontbencher, who agreed to speak on strict condition of anonymity, said. "We had the next election in the bag. But then Bill goes and completely stuffs it up! Three little words! That's all it took!"

The frontbencher was referring to what is now widely accepted as Bill Shorten's most spectacular gaffe – his Australia Day "captain's call" that 2015 was to be his "year of ideas".

Critics point to Mr Shorten's woeful Jon Faine interview as the moment that galvanised the backbench to act, although others point to an earlier interview on 7.30 with Leigh Sales as when the mood in the party room turned savagely against Mr Shorten.

"He got all the way through the Sales interview without saying a single thing, which was fantastic, and that is of course his job," another disgruntled backbencher said, "but then with two stupid words he went and blew the whole thing completely! 'Inclusive growth'. What a disaster. Now people will start to think we know how to manage the economy!"

Tony Abbott: the anti-hero on gay marriage?

Shhhh! Don’t tell him, but some Liberals reckon that Tony Abbott is the man best-placed to deliver gays and lesbians so-called marriage equality.

Not that the Prime Minister supports gay marriage. Heavens no, despite what his sister(s) and his daughters have been telling him for years. But that’s the point.

They don’t call him Showbag Shorten for nothing.

[poddster]

Show bag????

A different sort of bag suits him much better.

Thanks for posting, Noithing the Abbott govt. does will ever assuage the left and the biased media.

He's just getting along with running the country in a smooth and energetic fashion. The left just can't see it, won't see it.

Well Done to Mike Baird too.
