Abbott's speech was a bit too gloating for me,
I hope he is a bit more humble in future public talks.

I was just pleased he didn't have his wife and daughters draped around him again...it was becoming nauseatingly apparent that he wanted to play the game of 'Look, aren't I a great dad, and see all the women in my life, so I must love all women' .

I didn't vote for either of the major parties, and I'm glad I didn't.
I don't want to be part of the blame for what will happen from now on...

Chris lewis,
I don't know why you felt offended by my post which was was not aimed at you. I simply replied to the lousy mentality of the likes of warm air. If you are an academic then you'd be well advised not to identify as one as you surely would have to be aware of their mentality by now. Of course there is at least one good one in every hundred.

Suseonline,
Do you have the integrity then to not gleefully accept any of the benefits coming your way from this Government ?

Individual, no offence taken.

Just letting you know that there is significant minority of humanities academics that take the art a bit more serious than playing partisan politics. I like to refer to myself as a student of politics, in any case.

Like I have said before, I have only voted against Labor twice at the federal level, but always seek to answer a research based on fair and balanced analysis based on the reality that both major parties have their strengths and weaknesses in line with voting patterns by the public.

Probably not a good career move, but I am proud of approval from another of Liberal politicians of my efforts since 2007 (including two PMs), as well as sticking to consistency with my own views and values.

I sincerely believe that Abbott has many of the ingredients to make a lead a good govt.

I really should do what is suggested and write first in Word to double check grammar and spelling.

Hope following clearer.

Like I have said before, I have only voted against Labor twice at the federal level, but always seek to answer a research question based on fair and balanced analysis given the reality that both major parties have their strengths and weaknesses as recognised by changing public voting patterns.

Well I see the Abbott bashers are out early—Saturday night must have been rough for them,ay?

Warmair, being true to his calling …

Foxy, having put the handle "Lexi" back on the hook for later, sneakily trying to damn Abbott by association with Rudd.

Suzie-having-herself-on, still caught up in the Lab-Green big-bad-boogey-man-Tony hysteria:
“I don't want to be part of the blame for what will happen from now on...” LOL

Now, all we need is Poriot to poke her head through the door and give us some lame line about she being “all ready to give Tony the benefit of the doubt till she heard THAT SPEECH…”
