Block supply and force an election and let the AU people decide.
There are other ways of doing this without such a budget. If the AU people decide to go with Abbott so be it. If clive is the vote we can't do any worse.
This budget is to big not to have the consent of the voters.

I agree. I wish Abbott would call one as soon as he's scrapped the carbon tax.

And the first questions would be asked:
Bill, are you going to re-inflict the Carbon tax, continue to push the nbn? How are you going to fund ndis and gonski. How are you going to fund the increaded health funding promises of gillard and rudd? Are you going to continue the borrowing? And what is going to be your immigration policy if you need support of the greens? Are you going to reverse the cuts in federal public service jobs?

Voters, do you want to return to a labor government that is the same as rudd and gillard and rudd and greens coalitions governments again?

Guess who will win?

IMJ, judging by your stance you'd even defend a right-wing coup to get your way. Yes, only you and your glorious leader know what's best for Australia and the rest of us should just suck it up, eh?

imajulianutter,

"...Are you going to continue the borrowing?..."

The Abbott Govt is.

You may be interested to know that the net interest cost of Govt was $8.3 billion in 2012-13. After the Hockey budget, interest cost rises to $12.9 billion in 2017-18.

Abbott Govt full of wind, water, swagger and lies...(unfortunately)

Luci and poirot

Yes and yes.

Isn't Abbott great.

Hang over from labour stupidity. Watch both debt and deficits fall over the next three years.

You people painted Howard as a liar and hated.
You spend the last 4 years saying Abbott was unelectable. Now you are calling him a liar and spreading hatred.

Ho hum the witch is dead.

imajulianutter,

"You spend the last 4 years saying Abbott was unelectable. Now you are calling him a liar and spreading hatred."

A man of his calibre "should" have been unelectable.

He is a liar...and not just any liar, but a serial liar who appears to have absolutely no scruples in that regard.

You think a man like that (and his cohorts) is someone to look up to?

Says it all....
