You mean self-interest and power at any cost?
Do you numb nuts actually understand that politics is about power?
Do you really think Abbott was sitting back saying"Well if I can be of use just let me know"
He was negotiating as aggressively as anyone.
1 Billion dollars worth of our money to a hospital at the arse end of the world thats lucky to service 30,000 people.
You know WHY he didn't get the nod, because everyone knew he was a lying prick.
Our elected representatives are charged with forming a government that will last the term, they did this.
It's not Gillard's fault Tony is as transparent as glass.
Oh & would you be accusing Abbott of power for powers sake had they gone with him, no of course not, your hypocrisy noes no bounds.
The next election is getting close, how about forgetting about Gillard & promoting your mans ideas & how he will achieve them?
Oh again that's right he has none & you fools don't care.
Gillard sold all her promises and all her principles for power. do we really have to applaud that? yes, pollies seek power, but not all of them would sell their soul for it. Trouble is, Gillard would sell OURS for it as well.
