It's not that "don't like your remarks" - it's that they're usually just vacuous twaddle...the rhetorical version of running into a room and blowing a raspberry at someone.

Ho hum....

Ah well, I think I've just about exhausted everything I wish to say apropos, whether or not Tony Abbott is fit, both morally and ethically to be the Prime Minister of this great Country of ours.

I suppose only time and history will tell ? Goodnight everybody.

<<what's happened to Shadow Minister?>>
The answer is simple, when confronted with the total corruption that is the Liberal Party, it was all too much for the little tike, and poor old Shadow has done the unthinkable, yep, SM is now a fully paid up member of The Greens! Can't post because his solar powered, bio diverse 'puter made from recycled tractor wheels and egg cartons, free range egg cartons of course, has gone on the blink due to a general lack of sun shine in the Sahara. where SM is now trying to establish an organically sustainable whale farm. p/s I think Belly went the same way, gave up naked Morris Dancing and became a 'watermelon', not a Green, just a watermelon.

they're usually just vacuous twaddle..
Poirot,
Are they really ? Is the reality of no substance & logic in your arguments starting to frustrate you ?
Why focus so vehemmently on Abbott"s Uni Campus survey slump when he's doing so much more right than the incompetents that you support could have ever hoped for ?
You're running the man down for no other reason than your inability to see & accept some competence. That is nothing short of just stupid. Many Australians are pleased & relieved at this, you're stupidly the opposite. Run the man down after he's done something stupid but not before.

individual,

Hi there!

I see you've dragged out your trump line - again.

The diabolically clever retort that your opponent is (wait for it) "Stupid"

I'm running Abbott down because he's a liar.

I'm criticisng Abbott because he and his govt went to the election on a platform of deception.

Now I know that the standard line here, is that poor little Abbott and Hockey were somehow ignorant of the state of Australia's fiscal health and that they've been forced against their better character to overturn almost everything they said pre-election in their first seven months.

But,as Luciferase mentioned, Costello put in place PEFO - the Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Outlook:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-08-13/pefo-released-by-treasury-and-finance/4883392

- they knew the state of the books and they still said what they said to get elected. Since the election Hockey has cooked the books with his very own MYEFO to pave the way for their despicable agenda.

Fair enough, it you think going to the election with one agenda - then promptly reversing it once elected is honourable behaviour.

I resent being lied to on such a scale.

Wow!...the books are in such bad shape that the govt is being forced tho white-ant medicare and mess with pensions while simultaneously spending $12 billion on fighter aircraft.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-04-23/australia-to-buy-58-more-joint-strike-fighters/5405236

"The $12.4 billion price tag makes the Joint Strike Fighters Australia's most expensive Defence asset."

Excellent - and in concert with the $9 billion to the RBA which it didn't ask for and didn't need.

Oh and...

"The head of the JSF program, US Air Force Lieutenant General Chris Bogdan, visited Australia earlier this year and declared the reliability and maintainability of the aircraft was not yet "good enough".

In late March the US House Armed Services Committee was told the planes were not affordable to use at the moment.

The committee heard software problems could delay the fighter's production, and foreign buyer delays could see countries like Australia paying millions of dollars more per aircraft."

So all in all, Abbott's splashing around money we're constantly told we don't have - and now on dodgy and expensive hardware.

(Those New Zealanders better not get too uppity, eh:)

Good-o
