Why is Bob Brown gay?

Why did Hanson-Young flooped her tits in the Senate?

Maybe the world has come to the realisation we have. Gillard is a flop, a liar and is on the way out.

Did any other opposition leaders tour the world trying to get elected in australia? Its pretty disgusting. Even if any others did do it they shouldn't be allowed to - its tax payers money and we arent even anywhere near an election anyway - as if other countries are going to vote.

Abbott embarrases labor and the greens here in Australia too, but that doesn't stop him speaking. He lives to embarrass you lot.

As for the policies, he is keeping them close for good reason. One reason is because come election time, he will have new material for peoples ears and people will believe him more than labor/gang-green and will be falling over themselves to vote him in.

That is my prediction, you dont have to like it.

Why is Abbott Touring the World?

Perhaps to enlist the assistance of the likes of the Heartland Institute in the USA, which is backed by the Koch Bros, who are BIG Energy USA!

The guy was sitting across the table from the Labor front bench for the entire parliamentary session. No wonder he has to go as far as he possibly can to get that out of his system and to be able stomach them again for another session when parliament resumes.

You progs try sitting 2 metres from Gillard and Swan for 6 week. You'd be begging to be sent to the Moon.

Abbott makes "dangerously dumb" speech in China

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-07-26/carr-ridicules-abbott-for-27dangerously-dumb27-comments/4155228


Quote:

Foreign Minister Bob Carr says Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has made some "dangerously dumb" comments about Chinese investment. Mr Abbott said on Tuesday that foreign governments should rarely own or control Australian companies. He said it would "rarely be in Australia's interest", despite many Chinese companies having some form of state control. Senator Carr told Lateline on Wednesday night the comments are dangerously adversarial and could offend other Asian countries. "It disturbs me that he is making in three or four of the things he said about China what can only be seen and what will be seen by them I think as an adversarial approach with China and I think that is reckless," he said. "I think it is really dangerously dumb for this country's interest." He says Mr Abbott is trying to change the rules and moving towards a "blanket prohibition" of Chinese investment by state-owned companies. "Now that is crazy," Senator Carr said. "You've got farm communities of Australia that are guaranteed prosperity because Chinese urbanisation has seen people buy their food stuff from supermarkets stocked with Australian produce.     For Tony Abbott to start talking that language sends a shocking message of retreat about Australia - that we're now seeking security from Asia, that we're going back to a view so dated of Australia's role.     Foreign Minister Bob Carr "You've got 5,000 mining jobs in Australia directly dependent on Chinese investment." Mr Carr says Mr Abbott's comments are outdated. "For Tony Abbott to start talking that language sends a shocking message of retreat about Australia - that we're now seeking security from Asia, that we're going back to a view so dated of Australia's role, it's more conservative than John Howard's," he said. Federal frontbencher Bill Shorten has also questioned Mr Abbott's stance. He says Australia has a long history of foreign investment and decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis. "In the past we've had British nobility, Lord Vestey owned most of the northern pastoral stations in Australia," he said. "I can't believe Mr Abbott's saying it's OK for British royalty to invest in Australia but somehow government-owned enterprises elsewhere it's not OK. "We've got to look at the bid, not on the identity of the person who's making the proposition, but is the proposition in the Australian interest." The Opposition, however, says Mr Abbott was merely making the point that any investment by Chinese government-owned companies should be carefully scrutinised.

Abbott said what needed to be said about China

    by: John Lee     From: The Australian     July 26, 2012

THE reporting of Tony Abbott's speech on Tuesday to AustCham in Beijing by China's state-owned press was filled with platitudes about strengthening co-operation between the two countries.

Predictably, official news outlets such as Xinhua left out some of the Opposition Leader's more confronting statements such as the one that China would prosper even more if "its people enjoyed freedom under the law and the right to choose a government".

Bold comment on the values of other governments will leave some former diplomats fretting and tut-tutting about disrespecting our largest trading partner.

But focusing on values also matters for other reasons. Whether Abbott knows it or not, he is simply reaffirming what many prominent Chinese economists are already saying about what the country needs to do to build a surer foundation for further prosperity.


http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/opinion/abbott-said-what-needed-to-be-said-about-china/story-e6frgd0x-1226435134225


Xinhua distorts what you said - you must have said something true.

Hi Borg - was this Tony's speech? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuaRGtIrM9U

It's a fine political speech, and stands the test of time even after all these decades.
Perhaps Tony could use it as his own when he wins the next election.
Your average 21st century left wing slapnut wouldn't know the difference after all anyway eh. :)

It is quite a good speech - especially the bit about not lying -
a problem we have to this day with all the pollys.

Why don't you stop and think for a moment now and then?

Of course those things must be told - but by the Government Ministers not an Opposition lackey on a junket.     Government receive briefings and information that the Opposition are not privy too.  All Abbott has done is caused angst.  He is not in Government he should shut his holes

The Chinese want to know what he is thinking because they know he'll be the next PM. They have a bit more foresight than you, obviously.

China fetes Abbott like 'PM-in-waiting'

LOL!! You Fiberals are a funny mob!

why would you lecture china or anyone.  they are as likely to change their views as a leftie or a rightie being lectured by their opposite.  just ALL downside.

the chinese read and understand sun tzu and lao tzu. they have read the art of war.
they understand how to be two faced, manipulative and dishonest to win your way.
these are admirable qualities.

grow up you childish commentators and play the game the way they play it.  be honest with the chinese.  what planet do you guys live on.  be SMART like the chinese, that i can live with

Why is Abbott Touring the World?


so that he can pretend to be australia's PM , a role he will never actually achieve

China will choke on it’s own crap soon.

Doubling coal use in 5 years is not good for the masses that live under this pall of poison.

I just had a thought of why Rudd is travelling - perhaps he has been sent by his masters to do some damage control after abbotts lil tour.

Another so called “thought” you should probably have confined to morning tea with the windbag biddies group, over a stiff earl grey and a scone.

Indeed. Travel arrangements for MPs and speaking engagements the likes of which Rudd had (New York and Chicago) can't be organised in the space of a week or so.
