Poirot,

Nothing of substance again! All the left can do is abuse Abbott. That really worked last time?

579,

Considering that every prediction you have made has been wrong, you are living in a delusion. I remember the prophetic claims that Abbott was unelectable.

From Graham Richardson:

"Newspoll captures the mood of the nation at a given point in time. Last weekend the government would have lost an election by a considerable margin, and that is all well and good up to a point — there was no election. Moreover, elections are held only after a minimum five-week campaign where Labor and the Greens will be massively outspent by the Liberal and Nationals parties, let alone the Clive Palmer spectre now lurking in the foreground of Australian politics.

Such a campaign would feature millions of dollars in advertising Labor’s failures in economic management. While those claims would no doubt be highly exaggerated, it would be impossible to camouflage the political ineptitude and downright stupidity of the Rudd and Gillard prime ministerships. The images of that incompetence are still vividly imprinted on the minds of voters and the 53 per cent-47 per cent two-party preferred result in Newspoll would be reversed in the first few weeks of any election campaign held any time soon.

Labor will not win an election held this year and would do well to chloroform those who push this envelope too far."

Poirots and others hatred growing by the minute

'Abbott is an embarrassing lying prat...aided and abetted by a crooked Speaker and a whining mincing Leader of the House to shut down debate. '

one word. hypocrite.

No matter how much money the noalition throws at advertising they can not explain the lies of Abbott.

Why talk about labor, the GREENS can stand in their own right and so can PUP, SM is automatically programmed, for verbal diahoria against labor.
Ancient history again.

I am not sure if this incompetent govt can outlast the year, supply should be blocked hence forth.

This is not what we voted for, doesn't that count, we were taken to the polls with a dray full of lies, so the election was a fraud.

The people need the chance to evaluate Abbott's fraudulent policies and decide a way forward, win lose or draw the electorate must have their chance to either accept Abbott's fraud budget policy's or chose another govt;.

I don't see why SM can't say that is fair enough, lets do it.
Remember we were promised a DD well lets get on with it. Or was that just another Abbott deliberate lie.

I pray, meditate, chant, and make supplications to Jehovah, Allah, Buddha, and each and every deity (in order to be politically and religiously correct) that: Fuhrer Abbott pulls the trigger not on a DD but on a .38 revolver and blows his troglodyte brains out.

Further, that the rest of the Reichs Chancellors pick it up off the floor and keep going in order...Pyne, Bishop, Hockey, Morrison, finally the token va#ina in the Speakers Chair. By then the chambers will be empty, after which a half intelligent Cabinet could be sworn in plus a new speaker. What a bunch of absolute neocon sycophants all.

It was bad enough under Dudd, & Gizzard, but oh dear this current crop really has lost the plot.

Shadow, & others. You're being fed manure from the electronic whorehouse or your sources are tainted cobbers. NOFARCE can't get enough footsloggers out on patrols to surveil the incoming SIEV's, fishing boats, smugglers, gun runners, wildlife smugglers and wannabe black marketeers. The Customs & RAN patrol boats spend more time on the slipway at Larrakeyah getting cracks in their hulls welded up than they do in the water. Howard, Rudd/Gillard and now Abbott are doing their best to reduce funding there for ongoing maintenance programmes. All Defence $ are going into the next big thing - JSF and a big US Base over the harbour at Mandorah.

Ask Herr Morrison or Jewellery Bigshot this question : "Why is the Australian Government building a 3,500 pax detention centre at Mokerang on Los Negros Island (MANUS Is) if there are no boats arriving?"

Dear Shadow Minister,

Not quite sure what your last post to me was about but I thought the conversation had been eminately civil.

You wrote;

“I prefer a diplomacy that is more about honesty even if it offends a few despots.”

I'm afraid that can not be left unaddressed. Abbott's diplomacy is purely about economics and what he sees as what is in Australia's best interest.

He did not raise human rights issues with China instead they levelled their own criticisms at our refugee policy.

His pre-election hardline stance against Chinese government owned businesses investing in Australia has just been tossed out the door;

“Having noted in the same 2012 speech that Chinese investment was dominated by state-owned enterprises, he remarked it would ''rarely be in Australia's interests to allow a foreign government'' to control an Australian business. But in the push to clinch a landmark free trade deal with China, it is understood the Abbott government will rework its foreign investment rules to allow Chinese firms controlled by the government”
SMH

Abbott is very much about appeasing rather than upsetting despots and very much about achieving free trade agreements than rocking any boat at all. Who on earth is going to argue with offers of enhanced trading conditions? Certainly not the Chinese. This is not that hard as far as diplomacy is concerned. Brandis' outburst is. Who would believe this from him?

“The comments that I made to the Senate Estimates committee the week before last were comments authorised by the Foreign Minister.”
