Tony Abbott's Support Page

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.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott invites Labor foe Graham Richardson over for dinner after being touched by his cancer battle

PRIME Minister Tony Abbott has reached out to one of his most vocal critics, former Labor minister Graham Richardson, over his battle with cancer.

Mr Abbott was so moved by a confronting 3000-word piece written by his one-time political nemesis in The Australian newspaper that he rang Richardson to invite him over for dinner.

Mr Richardson’s wife Amanda and their seven-year-old son D’Arcy also attended.

Mr Richardson has long been scathing of Mr Abbott and his government, delivering an ­almost weekly bucketing in his columns and TV appearances.

During the Liberal leadership crisis earlier this year, Mr Richardson declared Mr Abbott “a dead man walking”.

While he would not reveal whether the pair had reached a truce, Mr Richardson said he felt honoured by the invite. Mr Richardson said the pair had eaten ­together in the past, “but not for 20 years”.

“He was very gracious,” Mr Richardson said. “He called me that morning after he had read the article. I never got invited to Kirribilli by Gillard or Rudd.”

Young D’Arcy offered a lighter moment, handing Mr Abbott a flower picked from the garden.

“Tony said thanks and D’Arcy said it was fine as it was ‘technically’ his flower anyway.”

Mr Richardson, 65, has the bone and joint cancer chondrosarcoma, and despite trying a new drug, is likely to face radical surgery in the near future.

Tony Abbott is a decent man and an honourable man, everybody who knows him knows that.

He is a shining light amongst the thugs and greedy opportunists he has to deal with every day from the left.

Shorten is a poor excuse of a human being and it's on show every time he opens his mouth, his history proves it.

Fantastic announcements today to deal with climate change.

So glad we have a real govt interested in doing the best for the country and people. A lot different to Labor navel gazing and policy free zone.

Tony Abbott's government have given all Australians a vote on homosexual marriage.

This has been received with hate and vilification because the lobby are scared that it will not result in their favour.

To change a law in a country to appease a minority is a very serious matter and what's to say that any minority can't do the same.

What Tony Abbot has done is the only way we can move forward in changing the law for a minority.

"It seems we like people to change their minds only when it benefits us. Otherwise, changing one's mind seems to suggest uncertainty, lack of leadership, lack of confidence, even weakness of character. Few of us, it seems, like people to "waffle."

But why not? We may like to pretend we live in a straightforward world—our brains may have evolved to categorize it that way to increase our odds of survival (e.g., into "threat" vs. "non-threat")—but we also know it's not. Every issue, even ones we've long ago concluded are completely unambiguous, can be argued more than one way. Not only that, but the best answer often changes over time. So why don't we value instead the intellectual openness that changing one's mind requires?

Why does the simple act of re-opening a settled question to re-examine it from another angle and of then wanting to answer it differently seem to require such courage?"

"....a traitor to the LGBT community, more concerned with politics and appearances and towing the line than equal rights. “On the issue of marriage I think the reality is there is a cultural, religious, historical view around that which we have to respect,” she said yesterday. “The party’s position is very clear that this is an institution that is between a man and a woman.”
