'Shadow Minister'

Wriggle all you like, spin it all you like.

Tony Abbott has side-stepped and diverted questions over whether he still considers the Queensland election a referendum on the carbon tax.

He obviously doesn't.

You (and spindoc) obviously do.

Following your logical fallacy - Campbell Newman supports 'Gay Marriage' so does the vast majority of Queenslanders.

bonmot,

As far as I know the question of why we voted the way we did was asked. Our answer was 1. Cost of living, 2. Service Delivery and 3. CO2 Tax.

It serves little purpose to ask the media why “they” think we voted as we did. You can TELL us your opinion as often as you like but your opinion and that of the MSM will not change reality.

<<Of course, the main stream media e.g. The ABC, CH7, 9 and 10 and the Canberra Media Gallery + SBS, radio, blogs, foreign media, Financial Review, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Australian, Courier Mail, yada yada yada ... have got it all wrong>> ?

You missed out the ALP but the answer is still YEP!

Now all you have to do is contact all the QLD’rs who gave you their reasons and tell them they are wrong.

Best of luck.

BM,

Don't try and get too literal, if you are implying that Abbott meant that the election was the sole factor in the election, then you are either naive or deliberately obtuse.

Whether the toxicity of federal labor w.r.t. the carbon tax and the deceit surrounding it was a significant contribution to the obliteration of QSW Labor, then it was without doubt a factor.

Perhaps you should read the newspapers where the warnings for federal labor are coming thick and fast.

579, it is so nice of you to tell us why we voted as we did, obviously we couldn't figure it out for ourselves now, could we.

I wonder what it will take to shut these lefties up.

I wonder if having a federal number lower than 30 would do it. Would they have to be down to 20, before they realised everyone is a wake up to them?

What ever it is, we must make sure it is below the threshold next year, their arrogance requires it of the rest of us. Not even a total whitewash gives them any sense of what is happening.

Funny, I was always a swing voter, before I came to this blog. Now I am confirmed anti Labor. I am wondering if it is the incompetence of current Labor pollies, or the attitude of their supporters on here which has made that happen?

Perhaps you are the one being deliberately obtuse, literal and naive.

"if you are implying that Abbott meant that the election was the sole factor in the election".

Never implied that at all but go ahead, read into it what you (spindoc, hasbeen, individual, et al) typically do.

The ALP has in its election tool box a strange tool Tony Abbott,I can see it now.
You can only believe what I say that is in print not on the run comments,I am free to lie then.
A nanny in every home, our 70 billion black hole may as well swell some more.
Labor is killing manufacturing, but lets not subsidies the car industry or steel.
Cut pensions, so we can fund middle class welfare.
Cut education raise tax's but not to the rich.
Only Gillard props Abbott up, he out boxes her , actually was a good boxer it may be an excuse.
Gillard can thank Abbott for her staying, a real leader would put Conservatives another ten points clear.
