Lexi,

You have no doubt whatsoever? You mean you devoutly believe the labor propoganda?

Abbott proposed a royal commission into child abuse long before labor. He has openly supported free access to pregnancy termination. His Catholic conviction has lead him to state that he would prefer that abortions were unnecessary.

The issue as to whether he is Pell's mouthpiece has been convincingly settled, as well as the level of influence that Pell has.

There is cause for alarm there. Womens issues will go by the wayside, so to will same sex partnerships.
Abbott is not keen on helping out the flood or fire victims.

I am not surprized at the opinions of Paul or 579 as they have to muck rake because the are not positive things to say about the parties they support. But am surprized at Lexi, I thought she would be far less bigotted than that.

Rudd was, or is, a devout christen who attends church regularly, so why would Abbott be subject to church presure and Rudd not?

579, you are on the bottom with muck now, if Abbott said anything, or implied such, it would be screaming headlines. Best you supply evidence for the allegations.

Its a fair bet Abbott will handle the truth far better than gillard.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Please try to be civil.

Equating an opinion that I express to "Labor
Propaganda," is not arguing on a mature level.
It would be remiss of me for example, to suggest that your
opinion in this instance is "Liberal Propaganda."

I am merely pointing out that we all are influenced
by various friendships, beliefs, and our ideologies. Mr
Abbott is no different. However, seeing as he wants to
be our next PM - many people are naturally concerned
about some of his 'influences'. Of course the media
tends to influence people as well - and there is no
denying the fact that Mr Abbott does come across in
a certain way.

However, I will make this concession - only time will
tell what he's really like - we have to wait and see if
the voters decide to give him the opportunity to show us.

Banjo, to the contrary I have many positive things to say about The Greens, a truly democratic and progressive party with great policies and terrific membership. What else do you want me to say.
On the other hand, why did the Mad Monk try recently to hide a meeting he had with Archy Pell. You know the meeting he tried to conveniently forget about.
If Abbott comes to power do you think that former soldier of the Third Reich Joe Ratzinger in Rome will be calling the shots, just a thought.

Almost anyone calling the shots would be better than a couple of harpies from Tasmania.
