Everytime he opens his mouth a heap of crap falls out.
Nice excuse booked months ago wow.
What a waste of recorses, iron man wanted to do his own thing.
He must be very tired after his long trip.
Sounds like a good cartoon to me.

Of course he is not fit to be an Australian Prime Minister. He is feckless and as bad as that is, it pales into insignificance when compared to the equally feckless but extremely dangerous Gillard.

It was the one vote against Turnbull on the matter of ETS that gave him power and after a history of previous leader changes adding a level of instability in the minds of the voters, he stayed on as leader to an election.

It should never have got that far, so he is therefore a leader, BY DEFAULT, a desperate mistake.

This country has yet to see the dangers of Gillard. Leftwing in the extreme, but it was rightwing support gave her the PM role. An atheist who allocates $220,000 to school religion to pander to the Christian vote, a promise of a railway for the voters of Epping and on, and on, and on. Because of the devious interests of the Melbourne Zionists, she is controlled by such people in the area of foreign policy, a stoogefor israel. A weak, compromised leader, with absolutely no compassion. As well, she moves in whatever direction the wind is blowing, regardless of policies. Power is her game. We have seen so many examples of that in such a short time, a practice that will continue for as long as she continues, hopefully that will be as short a time as possible.

We have never been so badly served in this little country of ours by the quality of politicians, these two leaders being compromises in every sense of the word.

Time for the voters to become a little more involved and aware so that second-raters like both Gillard and Abbott cease to sit in our Parliament, both Federal and State.

I have no love for Toni Abbott, i feel the goings on over the Afganistan trip have shown that he is starting to loose his grip on the situation. He has made a mountain out of a mole hill over the reports in relation to the trip and in particular his insistance that it is all a labor party conspiracy. It's all sounding a bit paranoid and his tactic of yelling abuse long and loud till everyone believes him is starting to fail..

Having said this, the article is weak. Lacking objectivity and in the light of the information that he already had a trip organised is now discredited. Yes he made some ordinary comments while maintaining the security around his trip, but this only shows that his media adviser is not on the ball.

i suspect he didn't want to visit with Julia anyway as it would unquestionably be good for her to have him in her shadow all visit so why should he. He is attempting to show his own leadership abilities and though i have no confidence in him i don't support media guessing what has happened and writing bias rubbish.

Whether he would be a good PM or not is hard to judge unless he does the job, i never thought John Howard would cut it as PM but irrelevant of whether you agreed with his government or not he turned out to be long lasting and a strong PM.

Why would anyone believe anything the liar Gillard would say?

Tony Abbott IS a blunder-buss.

The title of his book should be Battle Lines or My Blunderbuss World-View.

I and my fellow right-thinking "conservatives" am right. Everyone else is wrong.

After the above comments about Tony Abbot, reckon in a re-election Malcolm Turnbull would scoop the pool by a record amount.

Though myself more a middle of the road chooser, reckon I could vote for Turnbull because of his belief that modern man needs to get his senses ready for Climate Change, the key to which was the Mentality of Motorisation which brought on the Industrial Revolution.

Mankind thus began to feel the Thrill of the Motorised Chase, as youngsters foolishly feel the thrill from from motorised speed.

Thus as has been said when Mankind thew away the axe and spade for motorised power, the world was in trouble.

Please speak up and do your bit, Malcolm, because a possibly dying world, could need you.
