Wait until Australians see electricity prices still rising when the carbon price is repealed, exposing another Abbott lie.
No matter what happens, without the carbon tax they will be less than they would have been with it.
Abbott has asserted that the price rises are mostly due to the carbon price, which is a falsehood - he was even caught out red-handed misleading parliament about it. There's a substantial number of stupid people in the electorate who have swallowed that lie. Those chickens are going to come home to roost. Abbott needs to come clean now, and make it clear that most of the price rises in gas and electricity were not due to the carbon price. If he doesn't, the realisation is going to hit home at a much more inconvenient time in the electoral cycle.
Price rises in NSW have been very large and most brought about by increases granted by IPART based on claims by utilities related to costs incurred by various policies related to the federal government's green agenda. This included the carbon tax but not restricted to it; changes to infrastructure to enable houses to provide electricity to the grid, OTT rebates for customers with solar panels, renewable energy costs, loss of income creating maintenance costs shortfalls, etc.
BTW he's only claimed a saving of some $500 approx per year.

Certainly, there is none of the internal warfare that plagued Labor for 6 years.
Internal warfare is not the only way a government can lose an election. The ship of government can have a crew as unified as you want, but it does no good if the ship is sinking.
But we aren't.
Who's "we"?
As for the ship sinking, that's a matter of opinion, but given Pyne's lies, Abbott's lies, Abbott's bungling, Bishop's bungling, the Coalition ship may not be sinking yet, but it is definitely listing to port and taking on water.
What was that quote about proof? You are just spouting a very biased line of propaganda.

The last Coalition government even left Labor with a life-raft of funds... remember? How soon we forget eh.
If you want to claim to be fair... be fair.
Ah, that lie.
Really? It's not a lie at all just ask Wayne and Kevin or anyone who doesn't live under a rock. Obviously you've become so biased it's a waste of my time talking to you...
Where did the money come from to "save" us from the GFC? Hmmm... oh that money.
BTW no one holds it against a government for returning your money to you that they took from you in the first place. wastrel? hardly. myopic... you betcha... but don't try and tell me for one minute the ALP are any better... worst 6 years of government I can remember.
