As l have asked previously in another thread, "is Gillard and Co. asleep at the wheel?" l have come to the conclusion that, "there isn't even anyone at the wheel, let alone in the car!"
Well danny, they have managed to bring in a new company tax(resource tax) a new consumer tax(carbon tax i.e electricity tax). They have also increased your marginal tax rates, increased the pension age to 67 years old, reduced what older people can put into their superannuation, to make sure they can't retire early.
Also given themselves a 50% payrise and proportional pension rise, who is the goose?
Here is a left-wing blog of what '18-30' year old 'hipsters/uni grads/douche-bags' think of Tony Abbott. Obviously they have selected/highlighted quotes of his. However, they are not alone. A lot of people in this age bracket think the same. Scary.

Ok, Abbott might not be the most suitable candidate to run for the Libs, but have a look at what has happened the last few years with the Rudd and Gillard partnership. Tax this, tax that. Lets all gather around, light a match and watch the MRRT go up in smoke as we tax the Golden Goose that kept us afloat during the GFC...

they think they are the norm for our age group? they are massive social outcasts, its the inner city Sydney uni arts student type that annoys the hell out of me, they are products of the participation trophy childhood, the massive sense of entitlement is mind boggling. They call themselves hipsters, being poor and of sub-par intellect aint 'hip'
Well I read the 16 quotes and thought, if you sit back a bit,take a deep breath and think about the quote in context. Well maybe he's right.
They are being a bit cute with some of those quotes too. Abbott ever said "Climate change is crap" and if you go to the sources linked to it's Kerry O'Brien who says Abbott said this, there is no direct source for this statement.
In the fourth paragraph of Wilson's article, he quoted Abbott as saying, "The argument is absolute crap. However, the politics of this are tough for us. Eighty per cent of people believe climate change is a real and present danger."
Wilson says Abbott made the comment "fairly passionately" and "he certainly wasn't on his own in the room that night".
Since his election as Liberal leader, Abbott has described his use of "crap" as "a bit of hyperbole" and not his "considered position" and said it was made "in the context of a very heated discussion where I was attempting to argue people around to what I thought was then our position".
You are quite right Miss Hale. He said the argument on climate change was "absolute crap." It is pity he backed down later saying he was using a "bit of hyperbole" because that's what the Beaufort farmers wanted to hear.

You can play with evasions all you like, but the fact is that Abbott said what he said. That is on the public record and cannot be denied. His exact statement was that the argument postulating climate change was "crap". Pretending that he didn't say that is laughably absurd. Pretending that he actually said something other than what he did say is equally crazy.

I'm not evading anything. The fact is Abbott has been misquoted. He never uttered the words "Climate change is absolute crap". That is all I was pointing out, that this blog is printing things in quotatation marks that are not actual quotes. I'm not pretending anything.
What Abbott means with what he actually said is not the point I'm trying to make. Just pointing out this blog is not accurate with their quotes.
Climate change is real.I would actually be happy if Abbott did say climate change is crap since it is.
