First 100 days of half truths a back down and an electorate very unsure about why they voted for the slick advertising, now laughingly called the liberal 2013 election campaign.

The persona wasn't the 'real tony' What we have now is the real tony.
The man who shot Bambi, Tony Abbott. The man who went on national tv you tube and got a free leg up from Rupert and said Australia is open for business, and got the stumbles BAD.

Whatever the lib blue tie wearing set say, this is not good for business in this country. Lovely job our treasurer did with Holden, though the blue tie set will deny this with a vigour as yet unseen. Sends all the wrong messages to manufacturing and to small business.

Says to the 15 odd million registered voters better watch out who you vote for next time. Cos the bloke and the party you voted for this time wasn't and isn't who or what you voted for. Folks don't like to look silly and tony et al are doing just that, locally and internationally. Man on a mission tony abbott, just not sure he has all our interests at heart..maybe his own self interest/s

Come off the grass curious, that one won't wash. Are you really expecting anyone to believe a company like GM make decisions in a few days. They had planned to go for at least some months, & probably since the bankruptcy in the states.

They were delaying the announcement just in case Abbott was as stupid as Rudd/Gillard, & would keep pouring the money in as they developed their get out plan.

As with Ford, the cars are now orphans, & sales will drop like a stone. The longer they avoided admitting they were going, the less money they were going to loose with reducing sales. Well done Hockey for calling their bluff, & making them come clean now.

You can keep up this spin in your Labor knitting circles, & wishful thinking will probably get you applauded, just as you become a laughing stock among real people

Hasbeen,
I am neither a leftie or a labor voter but the front bench line up on the Govt side would have to be the pits when it comes to talent and ability.
Hopefully there are some further back in the ranks who do have some ability and get the chance to displace the current poor performers.
I would hate to think this front bench is the best the LNP can produce, we are in trouble if they are.
Take it easy.

I am not a leftie or labor voter or socialist either.
I think the problem at present is the extreme right has control of the Liberal Party.
The Malcolm Fraser decent and fair type of politics is no longer steering the ship.

I too am concerned about the direction the current
government is heading. Doesn't Mr Abbott have people
to advise him? And if he does, then whoever's
giving him advice is not doing a good job and should
be replaced. There have been too many errors of
judgement thus far and they need to stop.
The fact that the Party is losing ground in the opinion
polls should tell them they need to improve, and
fast.

Why is it that the State Liberals are doing so much
better? What's wrong with the Federal Libs?
Perhaps they're remnants of John Howard's government -
and should be replaced? Perhaps they're living in the
past, and that can be politically fatal, especially
if they're out of touch with what voters want and
expect from their government.

All in all, things are currently not looking good for
the Party. Action needs to be taken to improve things.

'Doesn't Mr Abbott have people to advise him? '

Yeah like Juliar had Flannery and McTernan ( the much needed 457 worker). Give us a break Foxy !
