And I am sure both Tony and Julie are laughing mightly hard at the way they manipulated the ABC and it's very odd intreperation of Australias best interest.

All the ABC experts were played by Tony snd Julie and they all now look quite stupid.

This whole episode should show the lefties what they and their inadequate shorten are going to have to deal with.

The Australian public are going to revel in and laugh at the lefties in all the upcoming spectacles.

There are no surprises that Abbot's leadership was destined to fail, but not necessarily because of his personal traits, any other Liberal leader would have dealt out similar. It would just be a different face and voice.

The voters had the choice of a Labor party that did not deserve to win due to infighting (and some bungled polices gratis Rudd) or a party that is totally beholden to big business interests. Unfortunately many still too wedded to a choice between the big two rather than show their displeasure via a minority party or independent.

One need look no further than the big-money strength behind the campaign against the mining super profits tax, a potential source of revenue for all Australians as a share in their own resources. Even prior to the election, it was a no-brainer as to who is really running the show.

pelican I'm afraid you have it wrong there. It might work if there was no international transport, & our miners were supplying Oz only.

The Japanese thought this way years ago, & are still suffering for it. I could quote a hundred cases, but just take Honda for example. The Japs decided they deserved more of the profit generated by Honda. Some profit was extracted in higher wages, & some in taxes & charges.

All these costs made Honda considerably less competitive, & their sales & exports suffered.

To stay in business Honda had to manufacture cars in Europe, USA & other Asian nations.

Our Hondas now come mostly from Thailand, & do very little for the average people of Japan. This appears to be a lesson that must be repeated for every generation in most countries.

We are already loosing growth in our mining industry, & will see a reduction in that industry, & our return from it, progressively into the future. We got too greedy, & allocated ourselves too much of the profit from the miners investment. If you don't believe me, look at the UK mining industries, or their car industry.

Closer to home, look at our dying car industry. We have allowed the unions, & their fool wage claims, to destroy our industries, & will suffer for decades for that.

As we don't appear to be enough to do it ourselves, we need the large miners to do it for us. We need them, but they don't need us. There are plenty of other places to dig holes, & make profits.

The lefties are once again into one of their countless struggling campaigns to score some credibility by their incessant Abbott bashing. it's not working because Abbott is not living up their expectations of him being worse than whomever the ALP can produce.
What these morons don't realise is that they're exposing their stupidity more & more with every attack.

Hahahaha

To keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result isn't moronic. Morons learn.

hahaha Pelican you look more like an ostrich.

Keep it up.

Stop the boats, Stop the Boats, Stop the boats.

Abbotts unelectable, Abbotts unelectable, Abbotts unelectable.

This is the best Sunday afternoon laugh I've had in ages.

While I have no reason to disagree with any of your analysis regarding Abbott being a dud, I personally think it will be a looooong time before we next see any Australian government attempt to improve their popularity by replacing a sitting Prime Minister. Doesn't matter how bad they are. Doesn't matter who you're going to replace them with. I think everyone realizes that it will hurt more than it helps.
