Yabby,
I have never thought highly of Abbott, however he did prevent us from being saddled with an ETS and that must count for something. I am quite prepared to see how he goes as PM. He certainly could not be worse than the present.

First things first, this is the worst and most incompedent government we have ever had and must go, the sooner the better. Ohe cannot believe anything the PM says.

There is a list of 50 Labor stuff ups now circulating, most of which cannot be refuted. Now we have a Minister for Trade (Emerson) thinking that Greece and Spain are in the Southern Hemisphere. Just how stupid are they?

So it is not just the PM who is a problem. it is the whole government.

Good to hear Abbott was good for something other than being professor of NO.
You would give abbott a go with no policy, that is dangerous and stupid.
When he explains why he continually puts his foot in his hatch, maybe they will reinstall Turnbull. Abbott can end up in jail.

579,
You sound about as intelligent as Emerson. Do you know where Spain and Greece are? Pretty obvious you got no practical education.

Abbott has already stated he will stop the boats and scrap the carbon tax. Hey, thats good and the Libs have a reputation for good fiscal management, even better!

Why would anyone not vote for them next election?

*I am quite prepared to see how he goes as PM.*

That's all very well Banjo, perhaps you are easily satisfied.
Personally I would like to see a Govt which has great policies.
So I'm focussing on what are good and what are crook policies,
for this is not a footy match, where we should be satisfied if
our team wins.

So I've highlighted a couple of crook policies which Tony has
announced and he has not announced too many as yet. The libs
clearly need to do some homework on what policies they should
actually run with.

It would be nice to think that we for once had a Govt that lands
up improving the country, rather then a mob who gets over the
line, because the other mob is useless.

yabby, have you seen me use the term thugs and mugs?
Even in current threads?
I am nearly sure the two unions you complain of are Representative of them.
You live in a world that never existed.
In sitting in that negotiation room, biggest construction firms in south east Asia, all once Australian owned, it is them with the power.
CFMEU, I would not be able to say this if still working, use stand over tactics, and worse.
I fought them as hard, often harder than any boss.
BUT SO TO do all good unions.
They stain the movement!
You see in class warfare,and no amount of talking will change that.
Membership, and Bosses fled to my union as a refuge from thugs and mugs/that union,and put better deals on the table without pressure.
there is a difference.

Yabby,
You make it sound as though we have many options. We don't. We either stck with the present mob, which is unthinkable, or we put the libs into government.

As well as the policies you quoted, I do not like the 'baby bonus' and I would like immigration reduced, but I do like the boats being stopped and scrapping the carbon tax. Do not forget financial management and that multiculturalism was being let die.

The present Labor government has been a complete disaster, financial and otherwise. They run a one man band where the PM makes all decissions. The Libs have in the past had a Cabinet that discussed matters before implementation. If a Lib leader tries to make all decissions he will become unstuck, as Turnbull was.

We do not have other options and looking at the form guide there is only one party that will deliver anything like a decent government.
