I see the true Lib believers wallowing in self-indulgent excuses, not making any progress, and wonder when does it stop, with time so short?

To try to shake the complacency, I post threads with inflammatory titles, yes. I hope my opening post, in this thread particularly, has substance and jolts some discussion on what I believe needs to be done. Arrogant? Probably, maybe definitely. So be it.

Alternative views welcome, as always. Constructive is good.

Complacency... what complacency??? Abbott came so close to winning. Labor had a large seat majority it seemed an impossible taks. Labor took a massive hit in this election.

I don't think anyone could say either side was complacent during this election.

I think you are meowing up the wrong tree with this complacency idea, Timmy.

Not wallowing at all Timmy ....... merely basking in the afterglow of a very well fought out election from both sides. 6 months ago Labor was a shoe in with the most POPULAR PM ever in the history of the universe !

LIBS came within a whisker of delivering the first ever 1 term woman PM on a platter to the great unwashed masses. How many knives do you reckon would come out of the cupboard if they had LOST the UNLOSEABLE election?

Now look at them. Bending over and touching their toes with Independents pounding at their back door ! LMAO.

Now this is inflammatory !

My view is the complacency has set in after August 21.
Acceptance of defeat, excuses, 'good election to lose' etc.....

I have always maintained that Abbott wasn't up to the job. This is his latest stupidity.

He said on Tuesday while he was disappointed with Windsor and Oakeshott's decision to give Julia Gillard a 76-74 majority, he believed they "were acting in good faith"

Let us face facts; Abbott lost a pretty much unloseable election. Anyone with an ounce of nous can figure that out. Check out the pages and pages of comments just on ASF alone. The ALP waste and mismanagement, no confidence in Rudd, the Garrett insulation stuff ups, the schools stuff ups, the stimulus …. And on and on it went.

A point mostly missed but Abbott chose the small target election strategy to the extent that he would'nt answer questions at door stop announcements. Why his minders (faceless liberals) would'nt allow it in case he screwed up lets face it Tony has form.

How could Abbott fail? He needed just a handful of seats in Qld. and NSW, and another seat here or there … OK, so lets look at his performance.

He did well in Qld., as he should have; again, all the pundits were saying that Bligh was on the nose so badly Abbott would easily pick up seats there, and he did. I have 6 seats in Qld. that changed hands from Labour to Liberal/National (happy to be corrected if my numbers are incorrect, accuracy is important).

Actually I thought it was 9 in Queensland and 3 in NSW WTF 3 in NSW Abbotts home state how bad has state Labor to be before it translates into federal votes unbelievable.

But his performance in NSW was little short of appalling. The same pundits were saying the Kenneally/Rees/Iemma/dog’s breakfast that is NSW government would easily see Abbott pick up seats there …. But he did atrociously. In NSW Abbott picked up two seats. Just two! That is a dreadful performance, in his home state, no less.

Home states normally give generously what happen?

Elsewhere, Abbott picked up one seat in WA, and picked up one seat in the NT. Great.

WA seats were knife edge not a given a mining state!

And I haven't even mentioned the losses in the senate. Abbott lost more seats in the Senate than any other party!

Not only loss seats but loss them to the greens......

How long before the Nats look at WA and say screw the coalition?

The Nats are a dying party with the Liberals spending mega $ contesting safe conservative seats.

Fact is if the Liberals had spent more on marginals they would have won...... ironic

I can see plenty of issues ahead with Tony Crook (WA Nat) sitting on the cross benches

Maybe Gillard should be in jail after being charged with treason.

I thought that was rather gracious of him. So what do you think he should have said?
