Suzieonlnie, indeed I don't!
I suppose I should disclose my bias as a secular, conservative-leaning individual who hates liars, prefers liberal social policy, but admittedly leans towards strong border regulation; and prefers managers who can budget a salary of at least six figures and knows about more things about life than God and sports clubs- so I suppose that discriminates against Tony quite a bit!

Whether people would vote for him- he would of course be a massive turn-off to voters, but if Labor's management of the country till the next election ends up unfavorable enough, people may vote for the Libs, Abbot and all, just to get rid of them.
There are plenty of credible minors, but Greens are a bit too 'liberal' for many voters (perfectly fair I admit), and not every state has independents.
Though more supporting both would be much better in my opinion.

Is Tony Abbott a symptom of the Liberals and Nats lack of talent in their own shadow Cabinet.

Abbott, Hockey, Morrison, J Bishop, Pyne, B Bishop, Rudduck, Andrews,Truss, even Hunt,
are hardly world class movers and shakers in their appointed portfolios.
And then there is Turnbull, the born again Prime minister in waiting.

I frankly wonder what the future would hold for us, should such a Govt ever beseech this country.
The Govt would have to go a long way down to be that bad.

And the Gov't we have, hasn't even had the chance to see the light of day,
let alone govern, already fraught by natural disaster, that is no fault of Gov't.

The Opposition would be best to give alarmist rhetoric a rest for a while,
work on their own policies and except the outcome of the election.
Even if it was just for the good of the nation.

Prospect of Mad Monk

As PM makes even awful

Gillard attractive

Labor's incompetence, waste, and sheer inability to read the mood of the population, is the reason that ALP state governments are collapsing, and JG cannot even sell a small levy.

While all the Labor tragics are trying to focus on Abbott, the real issue is that most people want to give to the flood victims, they don't trust Labor to use the money properly.

SM once again out standing!
Out standing biased wrong and divisive.
But plod around in the circle,keep the wheel grinding grist for the mill and all that.
What a shame about the smell,the rubbish being blindly thrown on that wheel.
My concerns, fears, and pain go to Queenslanders and WA as the threat of further damage comes with the first 2 cyclones of the season.
As for Australia? we face financial loss all ready maybe much more,but some of us, not conservatives unfortunate it seems, will give again and again if we need to.
That a funny little man, little in more than one way, wants to pay very high income women to have children,and tax us forever to pay for it, but cares less for our country men than dirty politics is,, sad but not unexpected.

Julia wants to tax us while Tony refuses extra tax.

Julia's agenda for the top 8 recipients of government assistance 2010-2011

Indonesia - $ 458.7 million

Papua New Guinea - $ 457.2 million

Solomon Islands - $ 225.7 million

Afghanistan - $ 123.1 million

Vietnam - $ 119.8 million

Philippines - $ 118.1 million

East Timor - $ 102.7 million

Cambodia - $ 64.2 million

TOTAL = $ 1,669 million -to be given away in 52 weeks

..but wait, there’s more... • Australia provides approximately 150,000 tonnes of food aid every year—about $65 million—to

Bangladesh, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Chad.

• In 2010-2011 the Australian Government plans to spend almost $4.4 billion on development assistance to under developed countries.

SO….. Ask your local Member how come 2011 Queensland flood victims only get “$17 million so far”? While our taxes pay for international welfare. Who has Australia's interests?
