Pledges in blood, crap, no, sh** happens.
When the sky falls in on the 1/6/2012. We will know who to blame.
Thugs and Mugs, Abbott can really put his foot in it. This a future diplomat, Statesman. Really.
Abbott is against anything the working person's get. He is a 1% politician.
Hockey has had enough of Abbott,
Put some policies up and they will get ripped to shreds. Abbott made a mistake in parliament recently by asking a question about the economy,
first time in this parliament.
Costello says he is economically illiterate.
Turnbull is the far better choice, Abbott won by one vote.
The Libs are in turmoil behind the scenes.
A vote for Abbott is a vote for a horse with 3 legs in the Melbourne Cup.

It's most probably the case that Tony Abbott is an extremist at best, of some sort.

It is really hard to tell what sort of extremist, but he has surrounded himself with right wing sycophants and downright dirty guys willing to do anything to put a screen up over what it is, that will be their policy, until after they gain power. No doubt they plan too see they're policies costed by another dodgy accounting firm just prior too the next election, whatever they are.

Chanting "we'll stop the boats" is not policy, its a chant, and having no credible policy to reduce carbon emissions is "not" having a policy Banjo, not having one, you a clearly living in a fantasy world.

The 50 stuff ups going around of which you speak Banjo, must be chatter when your attending LNP functions I guess, because the parliament has managed to pass heaps of important legislation despite the sabotage of Abbott and Co. Unfortunately the New LNP State Premiers have now gained enough grunt to contribute to the lack of co-operation with "our" elected Federal Govt. Oh woe is us Banjo. Its like living in forwards/backwards land with our lives being treated like some sort of political football.

How can Australian politics have come to this?!. Let the Govt govern, because they are doing a good job, the economy is not trashed, our International credit ratings are now AAA, our debt is minuscule compared with anyone else. And yes we have a Govt with a plan for the future, starting with a publicly owned NBN.

As for a reputation for good fiscal management thats one thing, as for proving that , that is another Banjo. I believe instead that there is indeed historical proof that LNP Govt's have not managed the economy well. Particularly in modern Australian political history.

Gove did not follow due process re contract--auditor general

Minister claims miners tax will increase workers super benefits

No doubt more to come.

Oh so we don't have a triple AAA credit rating Banjo, we don't have the lowest comparative govt debt in the world ?.

How many billions of taxpayers money was wasted and risk to our future security incurred when John Howard bought Lockheed Martins unfinished Strike Fighters on his lonesome in a motel room ,despite the ADF being opposed to it and now they still cant get these sh**heaps off the ground. Australia's very air security is now at risk.Proof itself that Howard made critical decisions without consulting his colleagues, the Public Service, Treasury or anyone.

How many pink bats is that Banjo in wastage terms and why did Howard do that in the first place. Was it the commission perhaps?.

Practically everything if not all on your so called circulating list would end in most peoples junk mail.

Banjo

and all that in 5 years. A record that only socialist could be proud of.
