Tony Abbott for PM

[orr]

What the Australian population are saying, mate, is.

" If we can perform so well under a muppet Labor Government. How well could we perform under the good economic management of the Liberals."

Well, glory glory be. Be the first to enlighten us all, because we hear absolutely nothing in policy, structure or ideas from the poster boy who heads this thread. So I call on your abilities in telekinesis to absorb the brain waves emanating from the shadow economic cabinet and tell us just what we can expect. But I fear that would drag you 'off message' .

Mate, listen up, just the Libs being in power would accelerate growth and radiate confidence throughout the economy, this is without them lifting a finger.

Fantastic. The rationale of the biggest and hardest tub thumpers for a political party that has proffered not one idea. Is that party would be better, because they'd do Nothing. Thats a winner. Go for a job in their campaign management ...Libs2013 we'll do noth'n...

Thats not what I said, just like your heroin, you just don't get it.

The ecomony runs on confidence as does the share market, Gillard amd Swan just don't cut it by a long shot.

Yes mate,

The second Mrs Gumnut was a bit like that, the less I did the more she appreciated me.

Read your own word and weep. Without lifting a finger. Is to do nothing. On the economy and confidence, That depends on how absurd you want to take your reductions. So now go back to the GDP figures. And now please pretty please, Tell us/me some thing concrete the libs are offering. Or don't you want to get 'off message'

I'll try just once more -

The Libs know what they're doing, their mere presence gives business confidence to forge forward.

Now thats in direct contrast to Labor who are so incompetant their mere presence sends business into it's shell.

Now if you can't understand that I can help you no further.

Your right I don't know why I didn't see it from the beginning, it must have been the dazzling. Now it is Just so obvious... I must just have Faith... The faith to be led unquestionably with the conviction of a true acolyte by the directionless ramblings of the mad monk... Hallelujuah
Thanks I no longer need your help, I've found the way to truth and the light. It's you and our ilk Burnsy sniffing our own 'freckles'

Gillard's infamous lie of "no carbon tax" has most likely gifted the libs the next election. Voters do not like being deceived. You can go on all day about policy and any other nonsense, but when voting day comes, voting for the libs is the only way to give this lot the boot.

Oh, and the libs also have some experience being in government. Unlike this current lot.

You don't seem to understand in what odium the Labor government is held. Don't you look at the polls?

Simply removing such a detested government will bring a return of confidence to the nervous and unhappy electorate.

I don't think any of us know how well Tony Abbott will go as Prime Minister. It has been said, pretty correctly imo, that anyone at all of a persuasion other than Labor would bring a collective sigh of relief to the nation.

Must be tough for a rusted on Labor supporter to accept this, so commiserations.

I'm rusted on to progressive thought my dear as opposed to reactionary conservatisim(see Sofie Mirrabella. A friend of yours?) I like ideas like national health, a sewer system and and up to date communications system,.I understand people like John button and peter walsh. And I Know about the hand holding of the hansonite right in i know about who was in charge while the AWB cuddled Saddam and half a million children died. And how much use are those Abrahams Tanks, And where was Peter Reith for those 4 days going into 2006 election. And lets not mention structural deficite.
The glory days for us all 'lie' ahead.
Tim Fisher and Bob brown are are hand in hand on trains I'm voting for their party.

Well mate, you certainly followed with blind faith when you got rid of the last government.
Also you seem to be following along in the wake of this goon show, despite their stupidity(even Bob's jumped ship).
So it shouldn't be hard to get your vote.LOL,LOl,LOL

 

[IFocus]

The born to rule argument scraping the bottom now folks.

Lets see what is Tony Abbott going to do when he wins the next election.

Lets start with reducing tax's

lol IF - all your negativity to Abbott (oh the irony...lol) is not going to help at the next election. Gillard has proven she cannot handle border security nor can she be trusted to keep pre-election commitments on major policy and the spiralling debt is sickening.

Anna Bligh was recently taught a lesson by voters in Qld leaving alp with 7 seats and 78 to LNP.

Abbott deserves a go, imo. If he fails, he will meet the same fate as Gillard. However, he has put up with screeching tirades in parliament and having his name put through the mud. It shows he has perseverance.

And how can people put him as preferred PM when he hasn't shown us how he will manage the position? The polls will be more important AFTER he becomes PM.

 

[Logique]

I think it's less about the PM personally, she's just the tip of the iceberg. It's a collective within the government that rose to power with only one real agenda. That agenda is redistribution.

They seem either disinterested or out of their depth elsewhere. A good proportion of the sisterhood out there in the electorate, especially the financially literate ones, will feel they've been exploited by the collective.

Abbott's maternity leave policy is outrageous, but beyond this, with a presumptive Abbott government after 2013, the hope is for the return of a fairer Australia, and tried and tested policies that actually work. Sorry, sounding like a campaign speech...

Or
1. an exceptionally thick skin
2. The lust for power is a strong driver of perseverance

Well, isn't it about time he does show us what sort of PM he would be?
I'd say the electorate has seen enough of him over many years to have a pretty clear idea about whether they like/trust him or not. So far, he's not gaining the unqualified support of much of the electorate.

I think it's less about the PM personally, she's just the tip of the iceberg. It's a collective within the government that rose to power with only one real agenda. That agenda is redistribution.

Yes, agree, Logique. Though she has made some apparently unilateral decisions which have rightly earned her unpopularity.
But when I remember what Rudd the Arrogant was like, Ms Gillard is imo preferable. Even if that's a choice between two quite horrible options.

The government has produced a few worthwhile initiatives such as improvement to aged care and the national disability scheme, but these fade from the collective mind of the electorate when compared to all the stuff ups.

Abbott's maternity leave policy is outrageous, but beyond this, with a presumptive Abbott government after 2013, the hope is for the return of a fairer Australia, and tried and tested policies that actually work.

If a Coalition does nothing more than get rid of the carbon tax and restore control of our borders, I, for one, will be profoundly grateful.

 

[Calliope]

The strange irony is that Rudd is higher in the PM popularity stakes than Gillard or Abbott. I read a comment in one of the papers the other day which made the point, that to get to know Gillard or Abbott personally was to like them. Whereas to get to know Rudd well was to hate him, as most of his cabinet did.

That's all that's left for Labor and it's supporters.

Abbott, Abbott, Abbott.

The sound of resignation is clear in the Labor voices in their media commentary on their forum on the economy, including the PM.

Meanwhile, in the real world,

Where last week's national accounts showed growth of 4.3 per cent in the year to March, the National Australia Bank's chief economist Alan Oster said the May survey results were consistent with growth of no more than 2 per cent.
