The Abbott government’s first one hundred days : Comments

By Ian Marsh, published 12/12/2013

Tony Abbott's government has now held office for around a hundred days. As the early polls suggest, the public remains underwhelmed.

Dear Shaggy Dog,

I, like you come from a very conservative voting family.
And in the past I've voted Liberal all of my life.
However, my criticism if of the current Party which I feel
is letting Australia down. I like my Liberal State Member.
She works hard and is the type of politician I would like
to see at the federal level. I would have liked to have
seen Mr Abbott's government really shine - but it's not
happening and while I admire people like Warren Truss,
and Julie Bishop, I find the rest of them more than a bit of
a worry. Mr Abbott needs to seriosuly take another look
at his cabinet as well as his advisors.

Foxy,
I think TA is having to pay back his supporters, part of the system I guess, but I feel most of these supporters are small thinkers of little vision. Not what a leader needs around him, especially in the times we are now experiencing. They will be his undoing.

Perhaps Warren Truss would make a good PM if he could get past the lib monopoly.
I think John Howard is controlling the strings tied to TA, that was how TA won the lib leadership.
Cut backs will be the order of the day until the next election.
Meanwhile, name a productive new project TA is promoting.

Yeah and I'm a labor voter. Has as much ring of truth to it as people who won't give Tony Abbott s fair go claiming to be liberal voters.

Criticising a PM three months into the job of cleaning up the most momentous labor mess in history isn't what any fairminded rational person would do.

Albanese hit the nail on the head few days ago when he said Tony Abbott had a plan to get into the PM's job but no plan for when he got there.

And now Mr Abbott is going to give away Qantas to overseas investors.

Why is TA not supporting Qantas workers in their bid to own shares in order to keep the airline Australian?

Even Ampol is gone, our wool industry, just about everything it seems.

I wonder what new investor might turn up and strip Qantas of it's good aircraft and other good assets.

A Royal Commission should seek an inventory of what remains of the outcome of all the development that Aus family taxpayers helped to fund over the years.

J
Do you think those workers might negotiate a lower wage instead of expecting us taxpayers to stump up for their over generous pays.

To blame Tony Abbot for Qantas demise is just rank stupidity as is expecting a government committed to smaller government, lower taxes and free markets to bail out a business which lost 150million last year when in that year Qantas carbon tax liability was 105million.
How about agigating for the senate to vote to get rid of that tax and it's obvious negatibe impact on QANTAS.

Are you just plain stupid or to biased to understand mathmatical facts.
