And having always enjoyed a seefood diet there will be no worries.
Well my friend that is what we need to face. And I could do it, in fact on the way in toying with new concepts of survival. Many are going to die but many will survive by following new ways out of the armchair and away from the tellie.
In fact I could live on the land as the indigenous did here before man came.
Well where we before we all went on a Jenny Craig diet and explods SAS fantasy, I think I read that someone was questioning Abbotts ability regarding survival.
I would suggest if he can bolt on Julia's ar$e he would last for months. LOL,LOL,LOL
Times have changed from the stone age and that is where the Greens want to take us back to.
Wrong in my view, how do you arrive at that conclusion?
The Doctors and Dentists will have to come along too. And I believe with the sophisticated technology in the pipeline it will be a far cry from the stone age.
Tony does not seem to suggest anything except undoing what is already in place and starting to work IMV.

Hang on Plod, you said you could live in the bush. on bush tucker and a make shift shelter, look after the environment, don't kill animals except rabbits and eat nuts etc. and you think you are going to take a doctor and a dentsit with you.
The Greens want to kill off mining coal and close down the coal fired power stations. Don't tell me they will get bas load power form wind and solar.
You are a joke my friend.
Remember noco, plod said that the Doctors and Dentists will have to come along.
This will be one world government, citizens will do what Big Green Brother says.
Ideology will top any other considerations.

Read more;Today Tony Abbott is doing what he has to now that he’s been opposition leader for so long. They all lose their gloss eventually, in Abbott’s case there was not much to start with, and three years is a very long time these days.
(The longest since Kim Beazley 1996 to 2001.)
Abbott is surviving in his position until the next election. That’s what both Simon Crean (2001–3) and Kim Beazley (2005–6) were doing towards the end, just trying to keep their jobs.
Abbott’s position isn’t yet as vulnerable as theirs were. He still focussed on the voters, although the message is no longer just talking about the government, but about himself.
If he starts performing for the parliamentary party, as Crean and Beazley did towards the end, you’ll know his days are numbered.
Some observers insist Abbott is safe until the election. He probably will still be there, but those assessments seem to assume a particular political environment.
Things are getting desperate when even Mr Plod is feeling sorry for Abbott supporters.But do feel for most of you with Tony Abbott in charge of your quarter.
Like most pundits, I had been thinking that Julia Gillard's unpopular image would never be overcome. What is getting harder to ignore for me, and presumably for many in the Liberal Party, is that Tony Abbott's image has been battered so much over the past 10 months, that the big question that has been asked about Gillard so often must now be asked about him - is the leader a help or a hindrance?
The next few months will tell whether her ratings can revive or if the government's numbers can go up even further. Gillard cannot afford any more self-inflicted wounds.
And what of Abbott? He looks like a one-trick pony. The relentless negativity served him well but it has run its course. Merely attacking Gillard won't be enough this time. He needs to introduce policy ideas and detail.
I'm just not sure if he can.
The Abbott led Coalition have had nearly 3-years to develop their policy ideas whereas they were rushed into the last election and clearly not ready.
Time will tell, but I think Richo is dreaming.
The Coalition won't be too keen to fire policy detail shots too early, for obvious reasons.
It worries me to some extent too, but there's also Labor's me-too strategy of 2007 to consider.He worries me.
+1.They are on very shaky grounds if they can't advance any policies for fear of Labor shooting them down. His parental leave plan for rich women has angered the business community which has to foot the bill. It is an attack on his own constituency. He will have to do better than this. But can he?
He worries me.
Agree on both counts. I'm not sure how important the personal life is. He seems to be mocked for his dedication to physical fitness and volunteer activities, which I can't understand. Anyone with that level of self-discipline deserves admiration imo.I'll say again I think Abbott is one of the better politicians as far as his personal life goes, but as yet he seems to have little grasp of the policy ideas that you need to show you have to be PM.
I suppose it's the religious background that translates into his ultra conservative attitudes re virginity and abortion etc. Yet, he seems to have made a genuine effort to broaden his outlook, especially with the lesbian sister presumably allowing him more tolerance of homosexuality. I always get the sense it's a struggle for him though. It's this conservatism that the government and much of the public are branding sexism or misogyny.I don't trust the guy to be able to keep his personal beliefs - he's far too religious for my liking - and I
do worry he will let that cloud his decision making in the future.
Agree. Difficult for him to argue against the impost on business of the carbon and mining taxes then expect them to pay a wholly unnecessary, unreasonably generous maternity tax.I think it already is with his expensive maternity leave plan. He should just let it die a nice death and accept the current Govt funded one is acceptable to most people, and is affordable.
Gillard is in the news every day of the week but I almost forget Abbott exists, I think front and centre is in order.
Abbott to embark on election 'mini-campaign'
Tony Abbott is planning to embark on a "mini-campaign" around the country starting this weekend as the major parties gear up for the federal election later this year.
Just watching Abbott on Sunrise
Am I imagining things but has his speech become more fluid ?
He was easier to listen to perhaps they've been working on this ?
