Lexi,

Laura Tingle saying the same thing:

"...generic political twaddle"....

Abbott's forte!

Bill Glasson is a worthy replacement in Griffith for Kevin Rudd.

Kevin Rudd didn't even turn up in his own seat to debate him. The good citizens in the Griffith electorate were far from impressed.

Lexi,

I am glad you think that I can speak for the coalition. Considering that Parliamentary estimates were only released a few days ago, instantaneous costings are a bit optimistic especially as Labor has yet to release its updated costings.

Perhaps you can explain why Labor only provided its costings 12hrs before the election in 2007, and for 2013 is still using assumptions that the PNG failure will stop the boats and that carbon permits will shortly rise to $18/t.

On top of this Labor has shifted the cost of all it major policies to beyond the forward estimates so that the vast majority of expenditure is hidden from voters.

Dear SM,

How can anyone argue with someone who knows it all?
As I've told you previously - that clearly points
to a political career for you. You've been a loyal
member of the Party - you should be rewarded.

Lexi,

A little rich coming from you!!

Try playing the ball instead of the man.

Question:

Given Labor's posting of costings done by someone else 12hrs before the 2007 election, are Labor's calls for immediate costings rampant hypocrisy?

Or will you take the 5th?

SM, Lexi is right.
I have often wondered if you are secretly Tony's speech writer, or at the very least his press secretary?
