Hasbeen : You must be reeling with a comment like that. You are against females in high places, and females with red hair.
The boats have not stopped, but they are stopping, can we take the word of a self confessed liar for that.
The abolition of the carbon tax was a fantasy as to it’s achievement It added 6 billion to the deficit.
This man with his credentials in science against the rest of the world is astounding and dangerous. Carbon omissions have risen month by month since the removal of the carbon tax. Planting trees will not cut the mustard, it’s a dream. If anyone in their right mind thought that would work, trees have to be planted and raised before any carbon tax removal took place. Who does the removal of the carbon tax benefit.
Our PM elect is on a short string and any slack has been taken up.
You are very easily pleased by a bumbling govt; without direction.
Sell of anything they can get their hands on, the problem with that is you can only do it once. How is debt reduction going, we are all waiting for big surprises to be announced. Mr Abbott is a one man govt; so he must take everything coming his way, and there will be plenty of that no doubt.
It’s about time Turnbull returned to put some common sense in the system, and come up with a realistic budget that can be worked with before it is due in may.
If the indecisions continue next year labor will have no option but to block supply for the greater good of our nation. We can only hope for sanity to prevail.

Instead of taking a leaf out of Wayne Swans book and SPENDING to create jobs and trade out of a downturn, these fools have decided to cut, cut, cut. We are going to end up like Greece and Spain and it will take years to get us out of this.

After 1 year in office and 1 year of blaming Labor for everything, this shows how inept they really are at running the country and what an absolute mess they have made of things. We did well during the global financial crisis and please notice that is the LNP's wonderful miners who are dragging down our economy. We now will have to suffer under a fools regime and the miners will just get back up again and make huge profits again.
Hockey is happy with jobs growth, and the figures are better than they would have been under labor, JOE HOCKEY says.
Great fiscal managers? Cut Slash Retrench is the only "policy" these clowns have, But thats understandable seeing the pair of morons Abbot put in charge of the Nations vital finances.
They destroyed 2 income streams to satisfy their greedy patrons, now they are setting about destroying services to their Paymasters,us. We can no longer claim these thugs are our employees, they sacked us and hijacked the country for themselves and their rich sponsors.
They have ceased blaming Labor for their incompetence and now blame their predecessors, which is more accurate, as it puts Costello in the equation. Another event is now blameworthy, the drop in price of exportable dirt, but, hey, even a blind drovers dog could see that coming, but not this nest of baboons

Senator Cormann said News Corp Australia had published a "pretty comprehensive list" on Saturday of the agencies, bodies and committees that would be affected.

Among the 175 government bodies identified on the hit list are four councils and committees established by the Council of Australian Governments, which were scrapped a year ago as part of a plan to reduce the number of councils from 22 to eight.

This includes the Standing Council on School Education and Early Childhood, which has already been replaced with the Education Council.

The list also identifies the infrastructure coordinator as among the positions that will be scrapped. This position was abolished in September and replaced with a chief executive role as part of a restructure of government advisory body Infrastructure Australia.

"Having spent the past year re-announcing existing infrastructure projects and pretending they are new, they are now reannouncing old cuts," shadow infrastructure minister Anthony Albanese said

In recent days, Ms Credlin has also been quoted by News Corp rejecting speculation her relationship with the Foreign Minister, whom she referred to as "Julie", has broken down.

In the speech, Ms Credlin also complains about media constantly referencing her husband, the Liberal Party's federal director Brian Loughnane.

But their dual roles have also been a long-running point of contention within the Liberal Party because MPs feel if they have internal concerns about Mr Abbott's office or the federal secretariat, they are unable to raise the issue because of Mr Loughnane's and Ms Credlin's grip on both.

Mr Abbott said MPs could bring their complaints about his office to him and reminded his colleagues that the Coalition had won office under Ms Credlin's leadership in the job.

But MPs, who did not want to be named because they feared internal retribution, said Mr Abbott had shown an increasing tendency to ignore any complaints about Ms Credlin

Mr Entsch has hit back with extraordinary force, openly describing the apparent dysfunction behind closed party doors.

"To suggest there's an issue because of her gender I find offensive," he said.

"He's basically said, 'if they don't like it they are sexists'.

"He needs to be very careful because there’s a lot of cabinet ministers who have a problem with how the Prime Minister's Office is operating.

"It's as bad as it's ever been."

Mr Entsch's complaint comes as the government battles to pass a range of the more unpopular measures of its budget.

He said Mr Abbott’s rhetoric was failing and his sexism comments were an attempt to minimise criticisms of his office.

"Almost every bloody headline is coming out of his mouth, whether it's 'shirt-front' or whatever.

"If he thinks so lowly of us that our legitimate concern in the way his office run is trivialised to suggest we are sexist is just mind boggling."

579,

If you might pause from posting replies to yourself you might give some thought to the tripe the media is serving you instead of news.
