The mechanism for going backward does not exist, that is a waste of time and effort talking about it.

It's only Conservatives that want to go backwards.

Ask Scott Morrison what he is going to do about it. Isn't that what the ABC tries to do, and only gets slogans, or rhetoric.

We are yet to hear of what Morrison's ideas are, until then we are only guessing.

Doog,

"Mechanism" not needed. All you need is common sense and, if you were raised by parents who who also knew nothing, a bit of self education on the past, tried and true methods of running a budget, personally and nationally. Nobody wants to go back to the 50's literally, but life wasn't too bad at all in the fifties. There wasn't the tecnology that now makes life easier simply because they were not invented. But, we were a lot happier then than people are now, with the massive increases in the standard of living, increased wages, luxuries and so on. But, you just will not take time to listen to anything that does not fit in with your narrow mindset, and you will have to take the consequences. You and your comrades will be rightly blamed for the poverty and chaos as were bolshies in other countries. You are not even aware of the failure that this Leftwing crap-thought brought in all countries who tried it in the past.

Common sense will tell you not to go backwards as well., I don’t blame you for not being happy, you have waited for a lifetime for Abbott to come along, and what happens, he gets the arce.

You live in your past dreams, and leave everybody else out of it. Turnbull is your new PM.

What are you talking about consequences , what consequences. Left wing crap. The Pm is liberal, he deposed a Conservative. We voted Liberal 2 years ago and got a Conservative.

I think you have lost the plot. This country will never see a Conservative govt; here again ever. The brakes are coming of of the asylum prisoners in Nauru. Which is a step in the right direction.

Shut them detention concentration camps down and we will save a fortune. Keep up with Turnbull and you will get over Abbott.

We now live in Turnbull era, an exciting time to be alive. The last 2 years was a dead loss in more ways than one.

Two questions.

Would it be correct to say Tony Abbott lacked common sense during his time as prime minister?

Does PM Malcolm Turnbull possess common sense?

Gawd doog, how old are you ?
I would expect better knowledge from a teenager.

The jury said Abbott definitely lacked any sort of commonsense, it was all over every paper and television, you must have missed it.
To early to say if turnbull has common sense or not, no doubt he will learn how not to govern by what happened to Abbott. That should answer your question.

Bazz Would you like to explain what you mean, it could be important.

You blokes voted Liberal and got a fizzer, his own party moved him on and now you don’t like his replacement. What do you want. There is 12 months till the next election, it’s going to be tough waiting isn’t it.

You just have to accept the fact that Abbott is not coming back to appease you. Turnbull talks to his fellow party members, and makes decisions that his party endorse. That is the job of a PM. So get used of it. We can not run a ramshackle govt; and expect miracles. We must have a united team and get this country to prosper. The polls tell the story of a successful govt; or not, without Abbott worshipers.

The minister for women’s affairs, now that tell you about that man’s self indulgence.
