The WA Libs have increased debt since in office,so I dont think it was debt
that was worrying the voters.
Absolutely, it is a perception of trust, that the community bonds with.
Unfortunately with the baggage Labor are carrying, no one is buying the trust me call.
In W.A the voters aren't worried, as reflected in the poll.
Yet they are worried federally.lol

http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/Sir Humphrey: If you want to be really sure that the minister doesn't accept it you must say the decision is courageous.
Bernard: And that’s worse than controversial?
Sir Humphrey: Controversial only means this will lose you votes, courageous means this will lose you the election
Yesterday I posted this mistakenly on the Rudd thread. I am starting to get the two wimps mixed up. Bolt has more on this on his blog today.
This morning Bolt tried to draw Tony Abbott out on how he could put his expected large majority in the September election to good use by being a little daring. Bolt was interested in how Abbott would pull the unions into line, and what he would do to reduce the numbers of 2 million public servants and 4 million on some form of welfare or pension.
Abbott wimped out. He doesn't want to be seen as courageous. Newman in Queensland made courageous decisions, and the polls show it, but he has two years to make them work.

I don't think it would be too smart to start talking about mass sackings before an election do you ?
Mass sackings? That sounds like Gillard/Albanese rhetoric. Abbott will never have a better mandate to trim the fat and also bring the unions into line. I think it is about time he made a few "courageous" decisions. At the moment I am not sure what he stands for...especially on climate change or "green energy".
The only things he keeps mouthing off about is abolishing the Carbon Tax and the Mining tax and "stopping the boats". But I think that actually sending the boats back will fall into the "courageous" zone.
He has to reduce the public service dramatically, no need to go on about it now though.
That's right. It's never the right time to be up-front with the electors.

Typical forked tounge Lib philosophy here.
Yeh, sackum all, like the tram conductors, more on the dole and less to keep a vibrant working sector. Smaller Govmint, larger private sector in which to outsource (to mostly party mates).
In fact here in Victoria under the Libs the Road Construction companies are now telling the government where to and how to build the next highways.
Gillard on chan 24 as we speak is articulate with the press and going to leave Abbott for dead from here on in.

For the first time since Julia Gillard became ALP leader, there's a consistent movement in net satisfaction for the two major party leaders, in opposite directions.Considering how incompetent the Labor government is it is easy to overlook the fact that Tony Abbott's image
has significantly improved these last few months.
If you look at his past he has being consistently underestimated at his opponents expense.
I think he will make a good PM.
If you got up close you'd see he walks like a boxer/tough guy which, by the way, he is.
And today as we commemorate our saviours excruciating crucifixion and his temporary dying for our sins, some of which are a little more serious than others, and considering the nature of those more serious sins and their prominence in statute law and the abomination that those sins are to anyone with a shred of human decency, unless of course there's a justification some where I've missed of moving Know predatory child molesters from one district branch of your organisation to another district branch, where they continue their debased and despicable behaviour on the most innocent and trusting. All while the knowing upper echelons of organisation threaten cajole and maline the assaulted and abused into a fearful silence. And when police investigations are started the raw power of the organisation is brought to bear to shut down and compromise those investigations. Is Cardinal Pell back from Rome.
... Well, A tough guy might want to go into bat to make sure those due it, get their come up-pence.
Some body like that might just be worth a vote.
Please make a point alerting me to Tony's thoughts on the matter. Or is he to be like so many others as soft as $hite
Agree, Gillard is drowning all by herself, with her actions and her words.Considering how incompetent the Labor government is it is easy to overlook the fact that Tony Abbott's image
