yeah good question matty

Thanks, but it's something the leftards need to answer. We're going to have the first PM triathlete.

A lot of world leaders stay in shape these days. Mr Cameron, Mr Sarkosi, that black Muslim, Barack Obama.

When Mr Abbott goes overseas as PM he'll be able to do more laps and pump more iron than the lot of them.

actually the first true athletic senior pollie was John Bannon - premier of SA in the 80s. he was the 'fastest politician in the world' completing marathons in 2:20 - 5 mins off olympic selection time. I ran with him a few times. after 10kms I was gone...

I'm very worried about our future prime minister, whilst he has a body that a 21 year old would die for, his mind does not seem to be keeping up.

Putin can afford to spend endless hours in the gym and pursuing all sorts of physical feats because he has very efficient back up in parliament, whereas Tony has to put all his time into the Liberal party because he has no one else that he can fully rely on.

Tony will have to give up maintaining the body beautiful when he's prime minister. He can still look after his health by all means, like Howard did, but he won't have time for both activities.

lauding former KGB colonel and wannabe-dictator Vladmir Putin makes you look as silly as all believe you to be. at least have the integrity not to praise this scumbag.

Did you know that POWERFUL Abbott hasnt stopped ONE bill of legislation.

apart from your typical inaccuracy you shoudl probably remember that abbott is OPPOSITION leader - not PM. The coalition recently blocked the malaysian (non) solution. prior to the greens getting balance of power Abbott blocked many bits of legislation. ACtually for an opposition leader he sure seems to be blocking a lot of things.

try and keep up for a change.

Well let me tell you ( through the words of someone else)

Abbott’s the exhibitionist who promised he’d be in the Lodge by November 2010, Christmas 2010, Easter 2011, Budget Night 2011, 1 July 2011, Christmas 2011 ….

Abbott’s the compulsive liar who vowed he’d stop the NBN, Health Reforms, MRRT, Tobacco Plain Packaging, Government’s Climate Change legislation, Carbon Tax – and failed to change so much as a comma of government legislation – well over 200 Bills now; should be nearing 250 after Carbon pricing passes the Senate today.

Under Abbott, the federal Lib-Nats have chalked up what must be close to the (if not the) longest streak of unbroken legislative losses in the history of Australia’s Federal Parliament. And he did that while NewsLtd, the ABC, commercial AV/TV media and a pack of hysterical male shockjocks unashamedly gushing about Tony and verbally abused, lied about and demeaned the Prime Minister hour after hour after hour – abusive, utterly dishonest, “shock and awe” GOP-cloned total-warfare against an Australian PM unprecedented in Australian history.

That Abbott, with all that media support, still so comprehensively lost in the only forum that matters – the Federal Parliament – emphasises just what a total loser he and the current Opposition are.

You backed Australia’s Greatest Loser. Suck it up, Petal

I cant top that and you cant argue with it. Grin

hmmm lets remember Howards win in both houses in 2004. remember how many bills he lost in the next 3 years? NONE. I wonder why...

and which PM is the ONLY PM to lose not just one division but 4 in the HoR since 1950? thats right folks... GILLARD. no other PM has ever lost a HoR vote and why? its called majority govt.

There is plenty to dislike about Abbott, his lack of consistency, his willingness to blatantly lie for political gain, his religious fanaticism, I mean, if he were a muslim consulting his mullah, or whatever their equivalent of the archbishop is, instead of a mick, then he would be condemned from dawn to dusk as a dangerous fanatic, by one and all, but all that aside, the fact that he keeps fit is a totally stupid thing for any to criticise.

If he does make it to the lodge, I just hope he is not as big an a-hole as his history leads us to expect him to be.

performance in opposition is rarely any indicator of performance in the big chair. in fact, if you look at history it is replete with examples of brilliant leaders who were crap until they became number one. and plenty of people with impeccable credentials until they became top dog and STUNK at it.

Leadership at the very top is essentially unpredictable. Gillard was decent 2IC yet she is a dreadful PM. Howard was unimpressive as opposition leader but as PM was exceptionally popular. Life is like that. Leadership is hard to predict.

Abbott has performed way better than anyone expected. He was chosen as a stopgap and nothing more. But he surprised everyone by skyrocketing the libs into almost winning an election that 12 months before could have led to their annihilation. He ended on PMs reign and is odds-on to do it to another. I think you might be very surprised at Abbott as PM. He's a dark horse that is very hard to predict. but he is already the faster vote raising leader in history.

For once I'd love to see a liberal supporter at least explain how Abbott's contradictions are accepted rather than consistently try to hamper back to old news. Gillard lying doesn't mean Abbott's lying is any more decent. It seems it's a little hypocritical to support one over the other, wouldn't you say? Substantiate how Abbott's contradictions are OK otherwise stop wasting your time.
