Mr Abbott says he will create two million jobs in ten years, where is he going to get all these people from. Must be expecting a few boaters to drop in. Over employment is not the liberal way, it's under employment to create a pool of poverty. Work choices decimated Howard. One silly mistake and you are out of it. Abbott thinks he can win an election by saying nothing, offering no policies, and refusing to talk to the people candidly. That is not the way of a prime minister, you must be very conversive, on all topics.
The negativity has run its race.

Dear doog,

It appears that Mr Abbott has changed his rhetoric
from "We'll stop the boats," to "We'll Welcome
Anybody Who Wants To Come Here," afterall we will
need to increase the population by over 2 million
to fill those jobs he's promising. Based on Mr Abbott's
adds in the media, it shows his contempt for
the intelligence of Australians. He promises to
cut company tax, carbon tax, pay out for defence,
"direct action" on climate change, create 2 million
jobs, and still balance the budget. He stops short of
a car in every garage. Yet Mr Abbott and his colleagues
refuse to reveal any details or costings. And this
from a man that Peter Costello described as an
"economic illiterate."

Ah well, as Tony Windsor told us - "the man will do
whatever it takes to be PM, short of selling
his "a*se."

P and L; The poll in the SMH this morning has it at 50/50 with Rudd streets ahead of Abbott as preferred PM. I'm a bit concerned about my own electorate as Labor are yet to pre-select a candidate to replace the "rock star" and the Liberal has been going hard out for 18 months. If the ALP endorses the bloke I believe they are going to, and its only an if, then its going to be tough to retain this seat with less than 6% margin. That is a typical problem for Labor getting their new candidates up and running.
p/s Under Gillard KS was a write off. The Liberal is a good bloke, just in the wrong party.

Dear Paul1405,

We live in a safe Liberal seat.
Our Rep. has been in for years - and
takes his wins for granted.
I'd love to see
him replaced with a decent candidate.
However, There's never been anyone of any standing
running against this party seat warmer - so he'll probably
get in once again. Unfortunately, that's the way
our party system works - people usually vote for a
party not a candidate. I'd vote for a candidate - if
there were decent ones around. We have an excellent
Liberal State Rep. who works very hard.
Federally, its a different matter.
