Crystal clear = clear as mud! imagesWith just over 2 weeks since the election, and 4 full days since the government was sworn in, we are starting to see what an Abbott government stands for, and increasingly people are less than happy with what they see.   :shock: As I mentioned in my previous post, one of the key slogans of the last weeks of the campaign was “Crystal clear”, stated by Abbott ad-infinitum. Another of his favourite slogans was “From day one”, but what he was less than “crystal clear” about was that “day one” started at least eleven days after the election.   :shock: Now as far back as I can remember, an incoming government pretty much hit the ground running , and with a “Crisis” on our borders, and a “Budget emergency” threatening to destroy the world as we know it, according to Abbott, Hockey and the rest of the LNP spin machine, we could be forgiven for thinking that “Day one”, actually meant “Day one”.images But no, according to Abbott, day one was actually day eleven, and instead of hitting the ground running on the real day one, he didn’t hit the ground running, but rather jumped on the pushy, and went for a ride… Maybe he thought that it would be quicker than running? He then went to some photo ops with the heads of departments, and then hid from the media until day nine when he did his first presser, at which point he announced that he would ignore around half of the voting public by having only one woman (?) in cabinet. Then to add insult to injury, he said he was “disappointed” that he did not have more women in the cabinet, even though he was the one that chose it… WTF? Shortly thereafter, the sackings, mergers and closures started. How dare you do what we do? They stated with a directive from that “Token Woman” and doyen of fairness and class (Sarcasm alert), Julie Medusa Bishop, who immediately revoked the Appointment of Steve Bracks to the position of New York’s Consul General, for the totally altruistic reason that he was a Labor appointee.   :shock: Now many of these closures were not unexpected, although the sacking of senior public servants, and the closure of the Climate Commission has received some condemnatory and puzzled responses from both at home and around the world, as people look on in disbelief, at what is seen as, at the least, ill-considered decisions. So what we have, is a government that 1 Hit the ground… and stayed there for nine days? 2 Announced a cabinet of 19 ministers, with only 1 woman, which equates to approximately 5% representation for around 50% of the population?    And then stated that he was disappointed that there were not more women in cabinet?   WTF? 3 Employed a 3 star general to oversee a non-military operation, that is now called a “military” operation to secure our borders from invasion by leaky fishing boats filled with scared and hungry men, women and children?   :shock: 4 Has major parts of its “Operation Sovereign Borders”, dismissed by the Indonesian government, using language like; offensive, could possibly damage relations, etc  etc? 5 Has  shown the true meaning of their slogans: Day 1 = day 11 = day 1?   WTF? Abbott “Gets Women” = Abbott gets women… to do his menial and dirty work, but he doesn’t “get” anything like equal representation? There are some talented women knocking on the door of cabinet = There’s no women in the LNP as smart or talented as… Barnaby Joyce? Stop the boats = Stop the information? Stop the waste = Sack the experts so that they don’t have to hear inconvenient truths? Direct Action Plan = Climate Change is crap, and it’s more important to make some wealthy people richer than to provide  a future for our kids? Infrastructure PM = PM who ignores the required infrastructure of the 21st century, and concentrates on just roads? Cut the tax = Try to bully the ALP, minor parties and independents into scrapping a price on carbon, which is working, and when most of the world are moving towards a similar scheme, and a fair % of people voted to keep it. Fix the Budget emergency = er.. what budget emergency? Reduce the Debt = We might go for a bit more debt, so as to add more stimulus (Probably for the rich)? Live within our means = Pay “Women of Calibre” $75,000 to have kids, while the poor and underprivileged still have to live beyond their means if they want to have children? Justice doesn’t need to be done, it just needs to be be seen to be done = George Brandis’s philosophy!   WTF? Crystal clear = clear as mud!

Yes, but the font of all Liberal knowledge lies with a race horse software scammer - Pickering - and a rejected ex editor - Michael Smith.

One draws pictures of other men's peni*s for a living and the other guy is one  ;D

firstly,  barnaby joyce would connect with about 65 % of the electorate.  so he has a talent for politics much greater then most of his detractors (green senators sitting on 9 %  take note).


secondly, why do we need to employ and pay "experts"  you can read their endless rants for free.  to employ them is nepotism of the worst order.

thirdly , the carbon tax is working.  could have fooled me, please comment on the price of carbon in the ETS, kevvy wanted to fastrack to

fourthly,  roads?,  nothing wrong with roads.  do a business plan on those silly very fast trains, only green wankers who've never run a business in their lives would think a very fast train can be profitable in a country as sparsely populated as australia

this is true.  Whenever he attempts his own scribblings they are dreadful.

why do you think his points are relevant?  it amounts to nothing more than "I don't like the way Abbott is governing' for no particular or cogent reasoning.  And he doesn't seem to realise that EVERY incoming government changes heads of departments and senior officials.

It was a dummy spit, little more.

It was only going to cost $114B (which of course would blow out to $300B) and require 20 million passengers a year in a country of 23million!!!

1) Barnboy is or was a rural accountant, of course he'll "connect" with rural people, the real test will come next election when the people ask themselves what has he done for them.
The LNP ignored New England which gave rise to Windsor for many years.

2) ?

3) The CT has reduced carbon output, that's its purpose nothing to with price which you seem fixated on

THE carbon tax has helped drive a sharp fall in the carbon emissions of Australia's power generation as coal-fired stations are closed, mothballed or sell less into the electricity market.

4) Maybe, I see room/need for both.
20 years time oil dwindling, carbon prices throughtout the world an electric  VFT will be miles cheaper than Jetstar ;)

No it was repeating Abbott's own words on issues he described in various ways as emergencies that need attention.

Then when the election was over we had a little holiday instead & none of these issues have been mentioned let alone any sort of action or even so much as an update.

20 years ago people said the same thing.  and in 20 years they will still be saying it.  it would cost is $15,000 per person in Australia to build.  and for the vast majority of us, we would never need to use it.

he has been PM less than a week.  you think you could give him just a little more time before rushing to judgement?
