I wish I could agree, I do with the thought Abbott,s mask has slipped.
We have the Slipper affair to come, and its impact will be telling.
Aware I went on record saying both would be gone by this or next months end.
And it looks unlikely now but go they will.
Silly as it seems in changing Labor can win the election, go back to leading the polls, Rudd can do that.
Gillard can not.
Polling still shows a landslide to Liberals.

<< ...Mr Abbott's vacuous performance on the 7.30 Report... >>

Agreed Poirot. He is really appalling.

Did you see the interview with Bob Carr about West Papua on 7.30 yesterday?

Now there's a man who comes across sincerely, with a great deal of knowledge, articulately expressed, all the time.

Surely Labor can see the enormous importance of this, and promote to their leader forthwith!!

They'd run rings around the silly Libs if they did this!

Dear Belly,

It will be interesting to see how the polls
go closer to the election. Hopefully people
will begin to realise that Mr Abbott is just
a wrecking ball's liar who does not know any
better ethical way of being. He doesn't seem to
know the difference between changing one's mind
on an issue and deliberately and repeatedly
peddling untrue statements and ideas as factual
and true. He won his party's leadership with a
miniscule majority - one vote.
The question now for the voters is which
leader can arrest the political malaise starting to grip
most voters. One of them will have to do precisely
that in order to gain the privilege of governing.

It becomes a priority therefore to show true leadership
that gives the voters clear reasons to have confidence
in themselves and their country. Either way - it should
become clear who is more suitable to lead a major party
and who should be given the chance to become Prime Minister.

Mr Abbott's recent interview on the 7.30 Report was a
real eye-opener. A performance of evasive non-answers.

Lexi the real Abbott was seen on the7.30 report.
Under tight scripted control he just lets us see less of it, for now.
Politics is maths, pure mathematics.
If he falls much more he will be replaced.
If Gillard falls, yet again she goes.
If Gillard continues to rise Abbott goes.
But can you forgive Tony Abbott? forget his negativity?
Then understand SOME never can forgive Gillard.
She can not win back enough to other than fail.
Ludwig Carr is as you say, but will the public except him?
Big voice to match his brain, well lived in face, will women like him?

Lexi this link is worth a read, every now and again the tea party press let an honest man write a piece.
This one I found while looking for something positive to say about Abbott.
It was love at first sight!
Took the axe to Gillard too and a man I think will be our country future Shorten.
Bet he is as angry as me about his roll in MURDERING THE ALP.

Dear Belly,

Thanks for the link.

I always enjoy reading Phillip Adams.

However he's not the only one suddenly
voicing his opinion on Mr Abbott. The tone
of media coverage is starting to turn negative
on the Opposition Leader.

It would appear that the media seems to suddenly
have decided that the Opposition Leader was getting
altogether too easy a run.

The final straw came with ABC's Leigh Sales humiliation of
Mr Abbott on National Television. Embarrassing to say
the least!

Perhaps Phillip Adams is correct - the only job that
Mr Abbott is extremely qualified to do is replace Alan Jones
as a shock jock (when Jones retires) on 2GB.
He's not qualified to be our next PM. He doesn't do policies -
he does performances!
