The only noise that comes from Abbott is blunder. Anything that makes sense did not come from Abbott, someone has written it down for him.
Every slogan was lies,lies and more lies. This mob could break every record ever implemented.
Belly aching Joe softening up pensioners, sniggering all the time.
Cuts to ABC, I don't know how that is going to affect news reporting, i think Runner is going to be disappointed.
Work Choices has been sedated and about to come around. Have they really thought about the consequences.
NBN raped, and going ahead before any proper costing' or benefits. exact same as Turnbull accused labor of doing.
They are in a wholesale jumble.

SPQR,

Yes, indeed...

I was in favour of the justice system.....which appears to have worked.

It's a shame certain rorters in the LNP and elsewhere won't get a similar day in court - thanks to the Minchin Protocol.

"The "Trojan Horse" and cart reference to her - when she can barely

Yes, otb appears to harbour a morbid fascination in personalising his invective and attacking you, using your family history as a base for his attacks.

(Don't shed a tear at such unkindness...your sympathies should go to the one who feels he has to stoop so low to make an argument)

Barry O'Farrell is resigning - talking of leaders on the nose...

Dear Poirot,

Thank You for your words of support.

I guess on public forums there will always be a
never ending supply of jerks that come and go.

As for Joe Hockey's concerns about the aged pension?
Experts tell us that we have one of the most sustainable
public pensions in the Western World. Apparently Australia's
aged pension costs us just 3.5 per cent of the Gross
Domestic Product which is the second lowest in the entire
OCED. Only Korea is stingier. And cuts to helath, education,
and science (CSIRO) which appear to be prominent targets.
Big cuts to CSIRO. Are not wise. The really big bikkies
in investing in scientific research are in the benefits.

Maybe we need go back to scratch Seems like its not only Abbott and crew on the nose but most politicians,Maybe redefine a politicians job Reduced money and entitlements for a start current system seems to encourage the greedy only,An over-site comity they report to lie detector tests drug /alcohol testing , maybe a performance report each 6 months KPI. With the focus on whats good for Australia not just a few.
I think we can all say the current system is broken do we try patch it or start again Your thoughts

Dear Aussieboy,

The current system does appear to be broken.
People are not too thrilled with either of the
major parties - as the polls indicate. That's
why alternatives like the Greens and Palmer United
are getting attention and their support is
increasing. I'd say that it is time the National
Party took a good long look at what worthwhile
"benefits" are there for them to continue as a
Coalition with the Libs. The Libs would not survive
without the National Party. Yes, it is time for us
to definitely start again. Party loyalties, factions,
greed, corruption, lies - we don't need the
continuation of this.

America has a Presidential system whether the people
elect the leader. The leader appoints his people
and he has to work with all parties in government.
A system similar to something like that may be a
good change for this country. Because it is obvious
that our current system is antiquated and a left-over
from Colonial Times.

If you take big corporations, international companies,
they're not run by a rabble of adverse thinking
individuals but a united management group on behalf of
shareholders and in the interests of the company well-being.
If they don't do a good job, they are replaced. They don't
have the burden of political in-fighting. We don't need
seat-warmers, hacks, careerists, adventurers.
Who we need are people who want to make a difference, a
contribution - people who are agents of liberal change -
and care about all Australians, not just a select few.
