We won Abbott lost Abbot has told more lies, in any single week of this Parliament than Gillard in her life.

Belly,

You mean labor, the greens and the independents won. Not Labor itself.

Gillard lies all the time. How about when she got fired for dodgy dealings?

Labor won the election. The federal Liberals would NEVER win without the dodgy and incompetent Nationals (the old Country Party before they sold out the "country" part of their ideals). Abbott himself tried to get in bed with the independents, but lacked the brains to even negotiate with a modicum of maturity. Abbott recently voted with the Greens on legislation. Abbott's a 2 faced turncoat when it suits his political needs. The public detests him, and for good reasons.

Nearly EVERY day in Parliament question time Abbott lies, by authorising and condoning dodgy electricity accounts from companies blaming the price on carbon for their 50 and 60 per cent increases over the past years. And guess what? Virtually EVERY time these bills are investigated and scrutinised, it is revealed the VAST bulk of the increases are due to poles and wires factors. As with MANY other Abbott claims, his lie list fills hundreds of pages, they are OUTRIGHT lies ..... and the Aussie public is finally realising this. Liar Abbott will almost certainly be ditched before the coming election, as the Liberals will very soon realise they can't win with such a 50s style religious, lying nutter at the helm.

Labor won 72 seats out of 150, the coalition won 73. Considering that Juliar started with about 54% 2pp in June she should have romped in. Since then she has failed to deliver every major policy she promised.

She lies every day in parliament, and is trying to buy votes with her $120bn black hole of further unfunded policy promises for 2014 and beyond.

You can't even count. Labor and Liberal/Coalition both won 72 seats at the 2010 Federal election.

Labor gained a majority of seats in the majority of states. NSW 26 to 20, Victoria 22 to 14, SA 6 to 5, Tassie 4 to nil.

4,711,363 people voted for Labor, while 3,777,383 people voted for the Liberal Party.

When you combine Labor and the Greens and the supporting independents we get a total vote of 6,482,857. When we combine Liberal and the several different National parties we get a total vote of 5,408,630. It's plainly clear the VAST majority of Aussies did NOT want the Coalition in government.

The 2 party preferred vote was, Labor 6,216,445 defeating the Coalition 6,185,918.

So, on every measuring stick Labor WON THE ELECTION.

Just like they'll win the upcoming election (especially if Abbott is still at the helm). But this time, the Labor majority will be greater, due to the great performance of our economy and the constant, daily lies from Abbott and the opposition.

Was that a scripted or off the cuff remark SM?
Watch Tony in question time.
If his hips swagger and his snear widens watch closer.
As soon as his lips move he is about to lie.
