I think its safe to say that this would be the most unpopular government in Australia's history.

Friggin brain dead, but typical liberal mentality

Starting to get ugly for Abbott and his muppets.

Their guarantee of capping of GP co-payments are wrong, and Uni funding discrepancies between their statements and the budget papers are emerging.

Tertiary students will now be charged interest from day one, with the interest rate increased form CPI to the bond rate, capped at 6%. Also the 20% cut in Uni funding is not spread evenly, so some courses could have massive funding cuts.

Heard the University of Adelaide Vice-Chancellor on radio this morning, with claims that a $30,000 degree could now double or more in some cases due to the crippling effects of compound interest at the higher and earlier rate.

The deceit continues.

Abbott's wink has gone down like a lead ballon with women around the country. The minister for women is despised by women. Would love to see a poll today.

And this from the Oz (national affairs) "TONY Abbott has cautioned colleagues against an “action replay” of Labor’s leadership dramas, amid another day of turmoil over the budget and an inappropriate wink".

Only a worried man would issue such a warning! Meanwhile, Malcolm is suspiciously quiet.

Hmmm well spotted roxy.

Malcy's rubbing his hands together wetting himself laughing i'd imagine.

But its the policies in combination with Abbotts constant f$%k ups that will bring these clowns down.

You do have to feel a little bit sorry for this mob though, don't you? ;)
They set up an ICAC in NSW to inquire into Labor 'corruption' - instead, it nets various Ministers of the LNP, including the Premier, plus Sinodinos in Federal Cabinet.
It now appears that their election campaign was bankrolled by the Mafia in Victoria.
... and as for half-a-term Tony and Joe... enough said!

The budget is pretty bad and don't look good for liberal at all. The thing that concern's me though is all I've heard Labor say is we should be spending billions on this and billions on that. If Labor can't come up with a budget to reduce our debt, then to me Liberal's budget is the only way.
