Beach, as one of the forums most strident conservatives and a political animal of the extreme right, you were over the top with your sycophantic adulation of Abbott, while taking ever opportunity to denigrate the progressives, and in particular The Greens. Your feeble attempt to deflect the discussion away from the topic of the Abbott disaster, and only little Billy Shorten is in a word, pathetic! Why not simply fess up that like so many of your ilk, you got it wrong. We will forgive you.

'That goes deeply to the character of this man.
No grace, no dignity.' You have no idea what a reflection such rot has on you Foxy. Pathetic.

"That goes deeply to the character of this man.

No, runner...it's not pathetic. It's a realistic impression of Abbott's "character" - such as it is.

""A TOPLESS Tony Abbott celebrated his freedom on the night of the leadership coup by dancing with his shirt off at a wild party in the Prime Minister’s suite.

Party goers have confirmed that the former Prime Minister partied on until the small hours of Tuesday morning and was still firing off text messages at 4:30am"

"The wild party in the Prime Minister’s suite included a marble coffee table getting smashed and staffers souveniring shards of marble for the history books."

Mr Abbott had declined to hold a press conference on the night he was rolled by Malcolm Turnbull, instead heading straight to the bar with his loyal staffers."

Resigns by fax because it would seem, if he was still texting at 4:30 am the morning before, that he was in no condition to do the honourable thing and make the trip the Governor General in person later that morning.

That's the kind of thing Foxy is getting at.

He's trashed not only the "offices" of the Prime Minister, but also the "Office" of Prime Minister.

And it tells us a great deal about your own ethics, runner, that you believe that criticism of his behaviour before and after his dumping is "rot".

'And it tells us a great deal about your own ethics, runner, that you believe that criticism of his behaviour before and after his dumping is "rot".'

I dare say Poirot it just shows that regressives are nearly always about playing the man and not the principle. Here the backstabbers are maintaining Abbotts policies on of stopping the boats, mandatory detention, believing man made gw is cp and refusing a Parliamentry vote on perverted marriage. Regressives have shown whether they call themselves liberal, labour or anything else that personal gain will always win out over principle. Turnbull, Gillard and Rudd obviously hold the secularist dogma that the end justifies the means. I doubt whether it will all end well for Turnbull. At least he can join Gillard and Bishop in trying to spin their way into believing their treachery was for the nation! Regressives always find justification for the most disgusting behaviour and manage to do it with a smile.

Dear Poirot,

Once again Thanks for that very informative
link. I was quite taken back reading it.

Here's another interesting website that sums
things up rather well. An opinion piece
from The Australian no less, by Peter van Onselen:

As for runner?

Sad case!

It would seem very few people on this Forum had a kind word to say of Tony ABBOTT ? I'll admit he probably wasn't one of our best PM's nor could he clearly articulate his position or his policies. In fact, none of his critics had a kind word for him at all.

Well I liked the bloke. Something I find intolerable though above many things in politics, is disloyalty while overtly professing to be a loyal supporter. It would appear now that Mr ABBOTT was prepared to shiv Mr HOCKEY in the back in order to save his leadership ? If this's true, it's also a low act ! You got something to say, say it to their face whatever the circumstances are. The police force is full of maggots who engage in such conduct, but soon or later circumstances prevail and one can often sort out such treachery, usually in the car park after an afternoon shift.

Anyway, it's just another nail in the virtuous and wholesome reputations of all our politicians. In my opinion they're amongst the lowest of any human group on earth. They've power, but do nothing to help those who need the most urgent help ! They're mendacious with a skill that would amaze even the most accomplished 'con man'. They deceive, dupe, and double cross with gay abandon. Moreover they regularly engage in corrupt (unconscionable) conduct, and when found out escape, seemingly with impunity ?

Yet it is they, who decide the very future of our country. Damn the lot of them !
