In all my years of following politics I have never seen an opposition leader get so much air time (TV and radio - Commercial and ABC) and get so little scrutiny. No one questions him about ANYTHING. But Gillard is hounded by everyone. It's a serious joke the standard of journalism in this country at the moment. Abbott has no policies or vision except to be against everything that the Government does. Maybe we deserve him as PM.
It's not just Abbott either. Hockey and Joyce are getting a dream run as well. IDGAFF what side of politics you are on I expect the media in this country to hold you up to scrutiny, but then again maybe I expect too much.

Gillard is hounded because she and her backers - Brown, Milne, Hansen-Young, Bandt, Midnight Oil, Swan, Albanese, Fergusen etc are complete twits and they are running the country to ruin. This is really a pathetic bunch of incompetent people telling us what we will do.

The worst politician in Australian History. Worse that Hanson! Hes a disgrace to the parliament

I am sickened that the media allow such an easy unaccountable run to Abbott and his band of hacks. They do it because a change of government makes great news. Forget good policy, its all about cheap news. disgusting. Reports economists slamming Abbots Direct action plan again CP/ETS. Will be tucked under the carpet tomorrow and the NEWs LTD papers will lead with that stupid bitch protester in Brisbane. There will be no mention of the treatment of a dissenting voice in a 'Community Forum' who was hounded long after the event by a guy following her and standing over her and bringing her to tears in the street. Absolutly disgusting behaviour.

Also If Hockey has any brains he will realise having to stake his economic credentials on spreading Abbots Fear will in the long run tarnish him forever if he became treasurer. Wake up Joe, Abbott will go down and he will take you with him!

Turnbull, Bishop and Andrew Robb have been gagged in public. Watch this space for a common sense takeover of party leadership as soon as Labor start pulling in the polls after the advertising campaign.

Inflation low.

Growth good.

Unemployment low, very low.

Dollar at record levels.

Economy the envy of the world.

Yes, they're ruining us :roll:



The Carbon tax is backed by science and today the overwhelming majority of economists backed it and said Abbott's policy was hopeless.

You're totally right, LL, Tony gets no scrutiny at all.


"Simplistic socialists", SP? You've been reading too many Bolt blogs :D

Many young voters born after the Cold War era wouldnt even understand what a 'Socialist' is? But the youth has never and will never be the L/NPs strong point and will only further endear the Greens who do understand conservatism and backwards policy.

Greens vote will only continue to grow.

How pathetic Q. The mob in power are idiots and most intelligent people agree. Green labor is out of control and sending us broke. They are simplistic. It doesnt work. Socialism doesnt work.

Are you people delusional?
gillard is a dead man walking. She is following the Labor party's time honored tradition of completely stuffing up the economy, but she has managed it in record time. ummm and by the way doing politics at uni obviously doesn't guarantee a balanced intelligent outlook on politics.
Tony Abbott is the man right now. He has one foot in the Lodge and for Australia,s economy it can't be soon enough.
labor barely held on for a second term they have set records for ineptitude, incompetence and stupidity.
She can't be trusted and Australians can see that. She knifed Kev in the back, lied about carbon tax and has sent us into hideous debt.
She is in bed with the lunatic Greens.
Bring on an election. She is history.
Caution! You are now entering the no-spin zone...

SP, the normal flow of debate usually expects contributors to back up their assertions with at least some facts.

I'd really look forward to that from you, instead of just slogans and abuse.

14% of the population favour the Greens ATM, vastly more than Barnbaby Joyce's party.

Oh, Darth rides to SP's rescue again.
