What will we get if Tony Abbott becomes PM???

Dump the carbon tax and the revenue that it will generate???

Dump the mining tax and the revenue it will generate???

Dump the NBN no matter how much is laid and forgo any revenue a completed state of the art communications network will generate???

Dump the buyback for the Murray Darling river system and provide no certainty to people in South Australia who will suffer the consequences of such a short sighted policy???

Provide tax cuts to everyone which will be skewed towards high income earners???

Provide a paid maternity leave scheme that rewards wealth and will cost a lot more than Labor’s policy???

Cut 10 000 public service jobs to pay for his negative politics???

Cut 70 billion in services from the budget to pay for his negative politics???

Return to work choices under another name???

Join the war in Iran if the Republicans win the next USA election???

Destroy the environment with direct action that will achieve nothing???

Destroy renewable energy programs in favour of coal mining???

Tony Abbott will destroy Australia if he becomes PM.....that is my prediction!!!

Now now Phil.
If you were really a genuine Haruspex, the IPCC would already have you making futuristic climate change predictions for them.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we will all have to wait and see what Prime Minister Abbott actually does achieve during his term.

The Lame Duck Tony Abbott?

Lame because of not controlling the Senate, and lame because the Nats have pulled out of the coalition.

No thinking Australian will vote a guy who has turned business confidence and investment into his kicking ball. No one who wants to be unemployed will vote for Mister No.

Ms Gillard and Labor will continue to be unable to sell a single concept.
Wayne Swan will get even worse at public speaking.
Mr Abbott will continue to say "No!".
Barnaby Joyce will finally admit he's just been yanking our collective chains and go on a nationwide tour of comedy venues.
Joe Hockey's concept of economics will get whackier.
Boat people keep on arriving - both parties continue to blame each other.

Tony Abbott will be the next (elected) Prime Minister of Australia, it may not be in 2012 but it will be the case.

Are you referring to the same lame duck Tony Abbott that has his 2nd Labor PM's scalp in his sights.
He's doing his job, pity Labor cant do the same.

So Mr Lame Duck thinks his job is to remove the puppets of the faceless factional men of Labor.

No wonder he is taking the conservatives further into the political wilderness.

[quote author=584E57575F5A4D3B0 link=1325717274/6#6 date=1325722705]Australia desperately needs a Ron Paul to vote for. The current batch of politicians on both sides, would have be the biggest pathetic bunch of losers this Nation has ever had the misfortune to produce.

If we the people don’t quickly start demanding more referendums on important issues and start taking back power that politicians underhandedly gave themselves, then we, your children and grandchildren are going to be in very big trouble.

Why the hell should we the tax payers be paying the salaries of the “opposition politicians” in Federal and State Governments & all their staff to do nothing more than sit around in Parliament and ask the Government in power bloody questions.

Besides asking questions and pointing out Government failures, what else is the opposition politicians getting $150K salaries to do? They have NO effective power in either the upper or lower house, so what are they doing for their $150k salaries besides asking the same boring questions and pointing out the same boring Government failures?[/quote]

you deserve the dangerous outcome of your idea. no opposition means no accountability which effectively means no democracy.

I think the media "break" more stories and hold the serving Government to more accountable than any opposition I'm aware of past or present.

Maybe you could give just a few examples of how both opposition Education, Defense, Communications Liberal & Labor ministers just to name a few; have directly made each other accountable when they have been in opposition - that's been a media worthy besides the NBN?

Education. do you even remember the BER?
Communications. NBN anyone?
Defense. materiel appropriations?

your opiinions seem to be based purely on the litle bit of information that comes your way. no wonder you are so wrong, so often.

Your comment was out of order but coming from roo-girl it was an exercise in hypocrisy.

But Im not a mod now and since FD tolerates DRAH calling everyone a racist then who am I to complain now? I wonder if the Liberal Party would be interested to know that blatantly referring to Abbott as racist is not only allowed by encouraged on here?
