Abbott is devastating Australia, religious guidance has infested his ambitions of being a leader of a political party. Is the end coming to a head.

The downward spiral of a govt; is not in Australia’s best interests, as a new govt; may have too much advantage. The tactics of Abbott trying to take control of all portfolios has caused the downfall of an elected govt; to a point of desperation, and bad politics.

Rushed free trade deals, submarines promised to Japan for free trade gifts, a host of mishaps, and now wanting to get involved into an extended war.
This PM has done everything in his power to discredit the only alternate govt; we have, but the voters are not buying into his tactics. Is it time for the governor general to step in and call an election.
We are in a far worse shape as a nation now than we were two years ago. Our longer term viability as a developed country is in the balance. The worst term of govt; in history with 12 months still remaining.

The coalition were once well balanced with Turnbull as leader but got knifed by Abbott, climate change has come a last priority, he somehow wants to protect the worst polluters in Australia. Nothing has added up to any kind of sense. Let there be an election so certainty can be reinstalled, for all.

110 Billion $ has been squandered for what, certainly none spent on jobs, Growth hit .2 %. Thailand is doing much better. There must be change now

Paul 1405>> The wage scandal involving Australia’s largest convenience store empire 7-Eleven, which operates over 600 stores nationally, is only the tip of the iceberg.
Just how far, and how deep, does this blatant illegality go in our society? <<

Ask the unions and Bill Shorten how far it goes Paul. Shorten who agrees with whatever his fuehrer says even though he doesn’t know what the fuehrer said colluded with the employers to dud his own union members.

I can cop the greedy owners shafting the plebs more so than their paid representatives duding them.

I am no fan of the current Liberal coalition................but the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd government inherited a huge surplus and within one year was borrowing to sustain their populist rubbish policies.......we all got a large screen TV, insulation batts, pre fab school buildings and covered outdoor learning areas and our kids still fall behind Romania in grammar and math.....Then they come up with Gonski........and now we pay $100 million a day in interest.

Abbott did not make that a reality, the imbecile populist Labor caucus did.

Abbott has no mandate in the Senate so his bills are tatters of the intended policies...............If Abbott has any integrity he will re submit the bills to the Senate then go for the double dissolution. But I think he likes being king rather than being effective.

Homo is up to the people that want it. Abbott's religion is in the way.
He told us that religion would not come into decisions.

Howard sold off everything that was not bolted down, The surplus as you say got eaten with his forward estimates.

What we need now is stimulus, not oppression. Abbott just can't do it.
Everything he has touched has turned to furtiliser.

Abbott has already got the ingredients for a DD but will not use it. He needs to be deposed.

You can't blame the senate, if his policies were any good there would be no problem.

Turnbull should never have been shafted.

Doog, Howard certainly sold off our gold when the price was rock bottom............

"Our unemployed youth won't get out of bed anymore, partly because $10 an hour to them is an insult"

$10 an hour is not an "insult". It's effectively the same as not having a job at all, when you factor in transport, maintaining a set of "job clothes", other costs associated with holding down a job. $10 is only a hair different from working for free.
