People have warmed to him because his party has a better economic record and is seen as the answer to the nightmare Australia is in. To label people right wing for simply wanting better life conditions is not cool.

Complete rubbish Snake Labor was the 1st party to bring the budget into surplus in the modern era under Hawk / Keating after the biggest fiasco after Fraser / Howard (still remember Billy McMahon coking in an interview on the size of the deficit Howard had run up)not to mention the changes and building the foundations to profoundly improve productivity.

As for the RW work choices sums up their contempt for hard working Australians which the nation rejected emphatically.

As for nightmares just join the employment queues in the US a result of the right wing (Bush) running the show.

Whilst running up huge debt. That Howard and Costello paid off after running surpluses.

Hawke and Keating did some good reform work with the country. That was continued by Howard and Costello too.

It's dead and has been said so just this week by Abbott.

I'm interested in Australia and the wastage of money by the government. Rudd is no Keating and what reforms are we seeing that don't involve TAX or spending?

When he said that, was it scripted or is it a non core promise. Remember the GST was "dead" too.

Yes, but it's relevant to remember that John Howard, when he changed his mind about the GST, did go to an election with a GST as integral to his platform.
That's quite different from a politician making a promise pre-election and then changing his mind.

This observation does not imply that I'm suggesting Abbott or any other politician will not change his mind at any stage.
 
I'd like to know a bit more about that Sky Poll, noco, i.e. what demographic the voters represent? It's very out of whack with all the other conventional polls.
I doubt it could be extrapolated across the nation.

Julia it is voluntary poll on the internet, where anyone across Australia from Perth to Cairns can vote.
Some of the polls we see are often taken in a well known Labor seat and do not always represent a true picture.
It is also a known fact that some people will cast their vote at election time based on which candidate is polling the best. They have little interest in politics, but like think they have voted for the winner.
 
Tony Abbott makes PM Kevin Rudd look good

You have to take internet polls with more grains of salt than most face to face ones. All it takes is one partisan site to link to the poll and skew it significantly. Also if you place the same poll on The Australian and The Age websites you will get quite different results purely based on the leanings of it's reader base.
 

Ha derty, check out ASF thread by Wade.
Poll : 2010 Federal Election.
 
People hate Rudd for all his screw ups
People just hate Abbott

Lol, Todster. That sums it up for the populace.

I would add for Rudd arrogance and hubris. On the plus side, apparently he used the term 'rat f**ked' reasonably often; 10 out of 10 for creativity!
 
Just imagine how well the opposition would be doing if Costello were to replace Tony Abbott. Does anyone know what Costello is doing these days? Could he be persuaded to come back given the changed fortunes of the government?

I hope so Julia.

I've come to the opinion that he is Australia's only hope. If only people could get past the infamous Costello smirk and look to his attributes as a politician, they would see a superior alternative to the current rabble.

Without him in politics I think we'll be waiting a long time for an inspirational leader (in both rhetoric AND DEEDS) from either side.

I bet reading the newspapers today he would be kicking himself, for not staying around and giving the leadership ago.
 
I've just emailed Mr Costello to ask if he's prepared to consider a return.
Probably get a 'thank you but no comment' in return.

The thought of this government being returned just because Tony Abbott is so incompetent is horrible.
