Didn't Abbott also desperately try to pledge a $1 billion hospital (that he couldn't afford in his budget costings) to the guy from Tasmania as part of his "I'll save this country" campaign?
Didn't Abbott also desperately try to pledge a $1 billion hospital (that he couldn't afford in his budget costings) to the guy from Tasmania as part of his "I'll save this country" campaign?Tony Windsor did not support the Coalition because he wanted a carbon tax and would only deal with a party that would introduce a carbon tax regardless of what they said to the electorate beforehand. It's there in parliamentary speech I refered to earlier, along with the obvious bile towards Tony Abbott.
Julia Gillard of course is such a saint that she would never do that even if it was to her political advantage.

I'm not deflecting anything, I am pointing out that Mr Conservative Spender (we don't waste tax payers funds when we're in government) is probably no better. Desperate people do desperate things, and both parties have desperate people. What is needed is a cool, rational head when dealing with policy, and I don't think TA is that man any more than Gillard is that woman.Do we know how much taxpayers funds Gillard has thrown at Windsor and Oakeshott? I suspect that one billion will look like pocket money by comparison.
Smear the coalition and whatever leader they have all you like, but it doesn't distract from the REAL elephant in the room that is smelling badly. Good try at deflection, but it's not working. It only makes labor look even worse, imo.
Instead of posting links to stories that those who do not subscribe to The Australian can't access, how about doing a simple copy and paste of the article?If the Coalition wants to convince the electorate they are ready to govern, it would help somewhat if they actually behaved like a Coalition.

Jeez Julia, we are dinasours.
Same experience I had.It has worked previously (on occasions), but no matter what I try it doesn't work for those two links. Keeps asking for the login.

Handbag hit squad politics has landed in the national capital. You've caught up with this piquant phrase? It's what Liberal ladies now say of the Labor ladies lining up regularly to have a crack at Tony Abbott.
It does sadly look like another case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing.Unfortunately, The Jakarta Post reports that President Yudhoyono, the first lady Ani Yudhoyono and other Indonesian delegates had touched down at JFK Airport in New York on Sunday at 8.30am (10.30pm Sunday, Sydney time).
Tony's song (Oops I did it again)
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says Prime Minister Julia Gillard should not be "swanning" around in New York "talking to Africans" , rather she should be in Jakarta talking to the Indonesian head of state about border security.
Unfortunately, The Jakarta Post reports that President Yudhoyono, the first lady Ani Yudhoyono and other Indonesian delegates had touched down at JFK Airport in New York on Sunday at 8.30am (10.30pm Sunday, Sydney time).
Tony has to start acting Prime Ministerial and go beyond the attack dog role! Or he won't last.
I think he could do it...new advisors are however needed urgently.

Ms Gillard and President Yudhoyono have no formal bilateral meeting scheduled during the UN General Assembly this week, but will meet on the sidelines of event.
