Why is Abbott so scared of Rudd?

[i-need-a-martini]

His overall dimeaner this past week has been interesting. He certainly looks anxious.

So why not take Rudd on in a debate as Rudd suggests? It might be a good opportunity for Abbott to promote his policies.

Sorry meep but you are going to have to point out to me where exactly he makes reference to a specific formal policy in that talk he gave. All I heard was constant negative comments about Labor and a whole lost of "and we won't do that" remarks. But nothing specific.

He answered quite a few questions so you will need to tell me which questions you are referring to.

Newstart - geode...I kept wondering what you meant by that. now I realise you meant goad 😄

"geodes are sphere-shaped stones, usually at least partially hollowgeodes are often lined inside with sparkling mineral crystals or concentric layers of minerals"

sorry don't mean to be a grammar police person, I just got curious.

As you were, everybody.

I give Abbott 100 days maximum as PM if  the LNP win the election.. then he will be ditched... probably his turn then to become the worst PM in the history of Australia.

You mean dislodge JOOLYA !!

I doubt it 🙂

No problem, especially when he is forced to make speeches... and when the boats keep flowing in.

It's in bright red text, Letitia McQuade.

Sorry icy, yes boo boo. The libs will not be goaded into releasing policies early just because labor are making it an issue.

he didn't attend. he had an lnp senator (scullion maybe) attend on his behalf so his far-right supporters didn't think he cared. 🙂

it isn't early, and if hockey actually has his figures checked properly this time the 12 bil black hole needn't be there this time. 🙂
