What a pathetic attempt to demonize Abbot. Sure you might not like his policies or beliefs but to be so deceitful scoops very low. Just come straight out and vent your hatred instead of this deceit.

You're right, I wasn't considering the disease aspects. I realised after I posted, but figured you'd work it out.

Over the past 20 years death rates have declined for both males and females for all ages. The largest proportional decreases in male age-specific death rates over this period occurred in the 10-14 years (down 62%) and 15-19 years age groups (down 58%). For females, the 5-9 years age group experienced the largest proportional decrease (down 56%), followed by females aged 15-19 years (down 52%)

Under the coalition health minister life expectancies increased dramatically. Either the coalition's policies worked or a magic fairy made every one healthier.

JJW thanks few care but even Labor took injured workers rights away.
Abbott has developed the art of making people forget it is not the real Tony we are seeing.
His record on health his promised cuts stands in the spotlight tonight.
He offered a billion dollar bribe to one hospital?

Very dramatic video. Not sure i agree with the tactic. Problem is human nature is to remember the good and not the bad. Mr Abbott has been responsible for some terrible health decisions and is one of the main reasons we got rid of the lib's in the first place.
Pity we don't remember that now

to clarify, the video was done in 2007, helping to get rid of the Rodent

Is there such a thing as an honest politician?
I'd like to think there is. I'd like to think
that a lot of the problems that we've encountered
was as a result of Party policies rather than the
ability of individuals involved.

We can only hope that after this recent Election,
things will improve, and that politicians
will get the message that Party loyalties should
not matter more than doing what's good for the
nation.

I'm placing my faith in the Independents to guide
the Parliament in the right direction.
