Killarney,

"However, I like my 'faux-exhausted, charcoal-faced and heroic' PR version better."

If I'd seen him looking like he'd actually been in the fray, I wouldn't be so critical.

You have a short memory, Hasbeen: Rudd spent time wading through receding flood waters in his electorate carrying stuff and got cut on the leg and ended up in hospital.

Abbott needs to do very little to look like a champion compared to what the Labour/Greens dished up. What with emily's listers, unionist and independants pooping on their electorate its no wonder he looks so good. You can tell by the whiners who criticise him how good he actually is. Already reducing the boats drastically, getting rid of idiotic taxes. Fancy doing what he said. No wonder his mockers hate him so much. They prefer sleazy deals, lies and broken promises and then sprout about great legacies (unfunded promises)

runner,

Hee, hee....."....They prefer sleazy deals, lies and broken promises and then sprout about great legacies..."

No wonder I'm finding myself hugely entertained lately with all the rorts, backflips, lies and hypocrisy abounding in the Coalition camp, it's hard to keep up.

Glad to see you approve so fulsomely.

: )

You petty dipsticks. Abbot for whatever he may be has been a member of the Volunteer Firefighters for many years so get of his back and keep your spite for each other.
Incidentally I haven't seen any of our Muslim brothers on the fire front or South East Asians either. Perhaps they just hang around to pick up the scraps.

Bet you're not a firey, chrisgaff - they are good blokes not racist trolls like you.
