DavidK, When has anybody in the left wing religion, not told deliberate, premeditated lies in order to steal both money & power from the poor to give to the rich?

the worst offenders are left wing academics. nobody has hurt the blue collar working classes, white collar middle classes, proles & plebs more than left wing academics.

individual,

"Change the record , go digital. What a tiring, baseless waffle. Things change, requirements change why even morons change, no need for lies because they aren't lies. They're change of circumstances, get over it. You got over the crap that the ALP dished up so get over what this Government is forced to do because of ALP stuff-ups."

Firstly, allow me to congratulate you for keeping up the average by including the word "moron" in your post.

As we OLOer's are aware, no post from individual would be complete without that superlative descriptor of anyone who doesn't follow his line of politics.

Secondly, what is the "change of circumstances" to which you allude?
Costello implemented PEFO which is released by Treasury before each election. Hockey's MYEFO, on the other hand, was govt production which most economists have concluded is a "crock".

No change of circumstances from before the election to shortly after will stack up as an excuse for the Abbott govt's lies and deception in the lead up to the 2013 election...(no matter how many times you use "moron" to argue in the govt's favour)

Steele is back, reminding us how he earned the name “Witless” on these pages. Alan Jones said that Gillard’s lies caused her father to die of shame, not Tony Abbott. Abbott condemned the remark. Steele is either mistaken or lying. He might let us know which. Let us hope that Steele did not misinform us because he is “a nasty, hate filled, calculating, toad of a man”. . Perhaps Gillard made her disgraceful misogyny speech because she is “a nasty, hate filled, calculating, toad of a ( wo)man”
Either way, let us hope Tony never redeems himself in Steele’ eyes. He is fine just as he is, and it would be unfortunate if he acted in a way which conformed to the requirements of someone with the deficiencies displayed by Steele.

And while mentioning it, quit the cigars. Most Australians are intelligent enough to realise smoking is a dumb look. Again, you no longer have to follow the Murdoch/IPA line,and it's bad for you.

But improving education is hard. It's the most important investment you make in Australia's future. In the long run, it may be the only thing you can really do to maintain Australia's living standards.

All this is only possible if you start by levelling with the Australian people, dropping the Opposition act of blaming everything on Labor and pretending everything will be hunky-dory if we just scrap the carbon price and mineral resources rent tax.

Leo lane,

Steele was "obviously" referring to Abbott employing the term "died of shame" so very soon after the furor concerning Alan Jones' disgusting comments regarding Julia Gillard's father.

Abbott would have been fully aware that reprising that term so soon after the Jones' controversy would have been seen as having another dig in the same vein...unless he's thick....and he's disreputable, but not thick.

"Either way, let us hope Tony never redeems himself in Steele’ eyes. He is fine just as he is..."

Abbott, by reason of his lies and deception, is beyond political redemption.

Abbott’s fine as he is. No one really believes that. You can’t just dismiss the lies we were told before the election. That just can-not be forgiven.
Abbott was prepared to do and say anything to get elected, and all the time hatching an agenda.

He apparently did not think he was able to win an election without lies. We went to the election being promised a fraudulent stack of lies.

We have a divisive budget that sees the lower half of Australians carrying the weight of this ridiculous budget, thrown together by a mob of incompetent would be politicians.

Our fearless leader is even backing away from his promise of a DD election, how low can one get.

This govt; is an embarrassment to AU, by their very actions. The Abbott followers have really hit the skids supporting such a outfit that sees lying and deceit as an ok form of govt;.
