I think you sum it up well ttbn although had not Abbott been elected with a huge majority, What number of illegals would we be up to? How many more drownings of kids? How many more terrorist would we have in the country?
Yep you and Individual make good points but I doubt any other pollie would of had the guts and courage Abbott showed to stare down the UN, the haters of Australia and the idiotic open border policies of Rudd/Greens. It is one thing I felt sorry for Gillard that she had to put up with Rudds mess.

Unfortunately I probably agree that Abbott won't be back but he has done us all a huge favour in seeing Turnbull's gw religion fixation exposed and trashed.

Hi (again) RUNNER...

Last night apparently on an ABC TV programme, there was some sort of Parody, enacted by the Station, 'mocking' the Christian beliefs and values of Scott MORRISON now he's PM. Personally I've no skin in the game as it were, because I'm an atheist. But I've always defended Christianity because I believe (Philosophically at least) many of the suggestions/rules/ ideas, that are laid out in the New Testament to be of enormous benefit to all of us.

As a police officer I've seen much suffering and human destruction occurring within our own contemporary civilisation, to last me ten lifetimes, so what I've read and understood of the precepts of Christian behaviour sounds pretty good to me.

All I wanted to say really, irrespective of how much derision, or scorn you may receive, as a consequence of your Christian believes, don't allow them to try and force you to renunciate those believes, however hard they may try to do so. For I believe this is a strategy they're trying hard to use with Scott MORRISON'S Adminstration.

He's not Christian, he's Pentecostal. Pentecostals follow the teachings of Christ about as closely as you follow the teachings Mohammed, o sung wu.

I agree with Trump saying that all this praise stuff is over the top. Defence personnel join up for various reasons, one of them it being a cushy number with good traning, pay & opportunities in civl life afterwards.
Many people don't even get a mention for performing in their duties, let alone praise from the top. Defence personnel do their job which, when it comes to actally do their job can be pretty horrific. Some don't come home from work as do many other non-defence people. I would expect a defence officer in war action would constantly think about the worst scenario & that must surely be a massive stress but, they are made fully aware of that at the time of signing up I'd imagine. A truch driver or construction worker etc. probably has such thoughts also after being made aware of the risks in their jobs.
Drivers usually don't get automatically hailed as heroes at their funerals unless of course they were racing drivers.

stick to what you know Toni. I suggest your knowledge of theology is minniscule. Next you will be saying the gay marriage voters are the real Christians.

I agree Abbot has been too badly damaged by the campaign that was run
against him to be able to make a reappearance as a major liberal member.
However, such things have happened before. If Labour wins and the 50%
renewable target is implemented, there will be such a mess that the
Liberal party and the public might turn to him as the savior.

Labour will have to implement the 50% target and the Greens will be
wanting to start on the 100% target so Labour will have no choice.
There could of course be a revolt inside the Greens if they realise
that their messier is not going to appear.

Of course ScoMo may do the job himself and Tony would not be needed.
Abbot has a strong support in some areas as shown by the cheering that
occurs when he appears in those places.
