Abbott is proving himself the ponce we all knew he really was.

Run away Terry TuffC.

What a douche.

Janet Albrechtsen's douche, eww.

Pleasing Australians is obviously not his strong suit.

What, with his fake macho swagger and faux bully boy style, he wouldn't know a real fight if it punched him in the nose. Imagine that.

Tony is probably a closet plunger as well, him and Pyney would be the perfect couple.

Tony would be wifey of course, with all his bitching and moaning and C.P. the disciplinarian would have him well in hand. ooh la la. Well you never know.

And Tony rushing off to hold hands with the other grammar school boys in London is not a good look for a fearless fearmongerer.

He should be out on the hustings, rallying his support and continuing his decimation of the labor party. Oh that's right, polls(oh no) indicate that his is a limp fish.

Bye Bye Phony Tony. Good Riddance!

If Tony is so useless, why is there so much time devoted to telling us that he is disliked and useless?

Because its so funny watching you guys trying to defend him.

I bet if you knew abbott personally, you'd be less enthusiastic.

Yet again - if Tony is so useless why do you devote so much time to attacking him? After all, he is just the opposition leader - can't do anything!

Getting desperate, leftards?

Can't do anything? I thought he'd single-handedly deposed one prime minister and was about to knobble a second? I'm sure that's what you guys said...

I think you're right though, ass.sault. He's as useful as tits on a bull.

I think you hit the nail on the head perfectly there.
For those too young to remember the DLP, they were a primarily "Catholic" party, with some pretty weird members. I went to school with their leaders kids, and played with them, at their home and in the streets and parks of our area, so I knew them quite well, but the old man was always very , very strange, and Abbott reminds me of him in many ways.

Santamaria? Abbott is still full of praise for his old mentor.

Yes, that's right Karnal, and the fact that I knew what people like that really cared about, when they felt free to fully express themselves in the privacy of the company of like minded people, explains to a degree, my reservations about Abbott.
His type know they need to talk a reasonable brand of tolerance, publicly, whilst privately they are actually consumed with trying to connive ways to impose their personal moral beliefs upon the majority, irrespective of whether they wish it or not.

Defiant Malcolm Turnbull taking a gamble over Tony Abbott's gaming policy by: Simon Benson and Patrick Lion From: The Daily Telegraph November 11, 2011 12:00AM

MALCOLM Turnbull is openly defying Opposition Leader Tony Abbott over his new direction on gaming policy.
In a video tribute from anti-gambling advocate Tim Costello posted on Mr Turnbull's website, Mr Costello praises Mr Turnbull for his "leadership" in backing tough reforms on problem gambling.

Only a week after Mr Abbott indicated a Coalition policy would rely heavily on a voluntary pre-commitment scheme, Mr Costello said the measure would not work.

"Problem gamblers just will not do it. Voluntary pre-commitment is a contradiction in terms," Mr Costello said.

Mr Abbott's discussion paper had outlined plans to seek written advice about the feasibility of a national voluntary pre-commitment program.

It followed Mr Turnbull's refusal last month to back his leader's vow to roll back Labor's proposed mandatory pre-commitment technology if the Coalition won government.

Liberal sources said Mr Turnbull's ambition for leadership had not waned, and he was becoming "active" again.

Lamenting the shift in the Australian psyche, away from the egalitarian ideal of the fair-go - and the rise of short-sighted pollies, who worship the 'Growth Fairy' and seek to divide and conquer!

Perhaps they see a leadership change in the Opposition as more likely then one in Labor now.

perhaps they just report it as they see it, hence their premier reputation ?

Perhaps they "see it" as they want to see it - Tony unseated?

Not exactly, Fred. The Greens are up front with what they stand for. I've never understood the talkback watermelon fears. The Greens are happy to tell you what they believe.

Abbott is too, but the Lib's strategy is to keep it from you. It's known as the old small target strategy. Personally, I think Abbott would love to play the big target but he's learnt to keep mum. Abbott has a huge sense of rightousness.

And this, as the Liberal Party knows, is his achilles heel.
