Mr Abbott said he felt no guilt "whatsoever" about holding children in detention.
Mal sits patently waiting for Abbott to get closer and closer, sooner the better he will strike, and there will be nothing left but budgie smugglers.
Toni doesn’t trust anybody’s judgment but his own, and Peta’s. With his downgrading of renewable energy and the abolition of the carbon tax which cost 6 billion in revenue, and unable to fund business with 2 billion to fix their polluting ways, and the green army dead on the land. He is backing away from his 20% reduction of Green house omissions target by 2020. I seems like his greatest achievement for 2014 would have been best left alone. He was going to create an extra 1 million roof top solar but that went by the wayside as well. Whatever Abbott has touched has turned to dust, so much for Abbott and Credlin leadership team.

We are yet to make any budgetary gain from this govt; Hockey says one thing and Abbott says another . All of Abbott’s changes have cost the bottom line of our economy, with no advantage. Abbott acts on another barnacle. Tony Abbott said he sacked the long-serving MP because he was not as aware as he should have been that backbenchers were unhappy with his Prime Ministership.
Lots of people have been giving the benefit of doubt , but now it seems they are convinced that Abbott is a zombie prime minister. No longer do they have to be doubtful it is a forgone conclusion. Another Abbott achievement, this one could even overtake the removal of the carbon tax which cost 6 billion $ from the bottom line. No one has yet seen any benefit from it’s removal, so when do we get our 350 $.
There was no savings from their university reductions or the GP payments, all it was is a cost shift to the taxpayer, as all savings were earmarked for the medical science promise.
Hockeys budget is not what it seems, it’s designed to impoverish people on fixed incomes.
The budget fine print shows about $6 billion of the savings measures are, in fact, tax increases whereas the proceeds of most of the actual expenditure cuts will be reallocated towards other programs.
To add to this, the budget contained $19 billion in new spending over the next four years including election commitments. According to the government's own Commission of Audit, it costs $400,000 a year to hold an asylum seeker offshore, $239,000 in detention in Australia, but only around $40,000 on a bridging visa in the community while claims are processed.
This is the fastest growing area of government expenditure with costs over the forward estimates projected above $10 billion. About 90 per cent is waste
Australia pays $40 million per year plus all extra costs. For what? Cambodia ‘might take in between two and five people under the pilot phase’. Resettlement in Australia would be far less expensive and more humane.

It is nothing like it was under Labor with their treacherous Greens sidekicks,

<Sydney terror plot: Suspect arrived in Australia illegally on false passport
Earlier today Mr Abbott said Australia must be more careful about giving potential migrants the benefit of the doubt after revelations one of Sydney terrorism suspects might have entered the country with a false passport.

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton also has asked for an urgent review after being advised one of the men arrested on Tuesday might have flown to Australia with the fake documentation in 2009.

Al-Kutobi arrived in Australia by plane in 2009 as an Iraqi national using another person’s passport, a senior intelligence source has confirmed to The Daily Telegraph.

They also confirmed that he was granted a protection visa soon after and that he was then granted citizenship in 2013.

That he had arrived using a false passport was only recently discovered.

It was also confirmed that the second man charged, Mohammad Kiad, entered Australia in 2012.

He was granted a visa under the family and spousal visa arrangements.

Kiad was receiving welfare, a Newstart allowance, at the time of his arrest.

It is believed he applied for and was granted welfare within 12 months of arriving in Australia.

Al-Kutobi had also previously been on a Newstart ­allowance..
Mr Abbott says the terror raids show Australia needs to be more vigilant about its border security, and more careful about future migrants.

“If you look at the Martin Place murderer, he had been given the benefit of the doubt at every stage by our system,” he told Fairfax Radio.

“I suspect the same will turn out to be the case with these people.”>

Yes, otb, but that could be summed up far more succinctly by noting that every time Abbott is on the nose with his colleagues or the electorate, he pulls out a "terror alert".

That's the long and short of it - and a tried and true technique to get the populace onside and drag them along for the ride - just tell 'em they're under threat and Bob's yer uncle.

Reality is, though, that he's just sooooo hopeless at actual governance that his "cunning plans" are rather transparent.

Poirot,

Your Abbotophobia is leading you to believe that Omar Al-Kutobi and Mohammad Kiad are a Tony Abbott plot to foil unrest among a few backbenchers?

Terrorism is now a fact of life in Australia. Bleeding heart slackness in migrant screening has seen to that.
