By Graham Young, published 5/1/2010

Tony Abbott's election seems to have produced a step change in the political conversation.

Good piece Graham,I will add that I think Abbott is the left Libs (LL) cannon fodder. Those on the right of the Libs (RL)just can't face the fact that they lost the last election. The LL can't get the balance of power in the Libs in order to win the election until the RL relearn the lesson that elections are won and lost on centre issues. Abbott win lead the Libs into te desert at the next election, then the LL can move the party to the centre and take a run at the next one with the big fella in the hot seat, or maybe even Turnbull for a rerun.

BTW I think allot of people still remember Abbott trying to dodge questions about visiting the Abbot a couple of elections ago. Values voters are a dying breed in Australian and the quicker Pollies pick up on that one the more votes they will get. Not all non-christians are greenies.

Christopher Monckton has to decided to do a tour of Australia starting in 2 weeks.He has Kevin Rudd in his sights since Kevin at Copehagen spent 45 min in a tirade against the deniars.He mentioned Monckton's name is dispatches 6 times.see http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/

Perhaps Kevin will get his comeupance if he has the courage to face the truth.Expect Tony Abbott to weight into the debate also to score some political points.I think the real man will vanquish the metro man in a real debate on this topic.

Watch Kevin run.He is good at grandstanding in front of his adulating UN mates,but cannot handle the heat of real debate.

When did Monckton frighten anyone another blowhard climate change denier,he will be right at home peeing in the pockerts of Alan Jones,Bolt and Ackerman plus the usual suspects,hes like that other clod so beloved by people like Arjay, Plimer,he got taken to bits by a some one who knew what he was talking about on Lateline a few weeks ago.

It'll be an interesting election. Abbott's a goner. No doubt about it. The Murdoch press will talk him up desperately, as they did before Howard's last stand, but he's completely unelectable.

The Greens stand to clear up if they campaign well. Since the major parties are both standing religious zealots for PM, the real question is what will happen with Labor voters who've had enough of religion and censorship.

John Ryan, if you care to go to Monckton's site you will see voluminous evidence of climate change fraud. http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/ Kevin Rudd at Copenhagen was willing to sign a treaty that would effectively ended our sovereignty.We would have been part of a world Govt with not rights of veto as individuals.

Liberty is our most precious asset.Thank God that Monckton,Abbott Albrectsen,Jones,Bolt,Ackerman etc have had the nous to smell a dirt big rat of facism.This is not an issue of left or right,it is about having the freedom to determine our own destinies.

The internet resistance is alive and well.We don't need guns,just a free internet with minds of integrity and the courage defeat facism in all it's forms,whether it be Green,Union,Corporate or Govt.

Yes, thank god for Monckton, Abbott, Albrectsen, Jones, Bolt, Ackerman. It's clearly not a Left/Right issue when those even-handed, apolitical and evidence-based commentators weigh in.
