As a predictor of politics, Syd will prove to be as accurate as Bob Ellis.

The writer clearly shows a typical symptom of post-election trauma, both physically and mentally.

The quality of his writing is appalling, full of assertions, claims, partisan languages, free of fact and truth.

Let me give you one example: the dealing with China on its maritime disputes with neighbouring countries. The writer believes what Australia did would offend China, therefore is somehow wrong. Why? Why offending China is wrong? We as a free people are entitled to express our opinion on international issues, aren't we? Or, we should sell our dignity only for the dollars we make from trade with China? The truth is Tony said what we Australians want to say to China. If China is unhappy, so be it.

If Tony Abbott is a dud, what the hell would you call Rudd & the redhead.

If he is a dud, my fervent prayer is we be sent many more duds.

Perfect he aint! A bit too soft & kindly, but one hell of an improvement on what we've had recently.

the fact that someone has made their living largely from the public purse explains the obsession with Abbott Abbott and Abbott.

I can only assume that the "usual suspects" who are fiercely defending Tony Abort are in fact either very rich and part of the one percent or are on the payroll of the above and set to draw red herrings across to confuse the proles.
It is not going to matter a lot because before the next election/auction there will be such a downturn in the economy and a huge drop in employment that the Corporation controlled libs will be out.
It will not make a lot of difference then because as Whitlam said " nothing will save ( instead of the Governor general) us".
We are on the downhill path .
By the way well said Ludwig.

Well said Robert LePage they are here as well, desperately trying to cover up for Abbott's poor performance. You are very correct in your analysis Syd and I believe it will be sooner rather than later that Abbott gets it in the back. If the polls were more forthcoming we would see a lot of behind closed doors stuff happening.
