    Hey yeah! In our modern "tolerant" society, we can`t ever vote for people who go swimming in speedos, or who walk like Ronald M`Donald. We can however, if the person is female, vote for a person who looks like Jughead, and talks like Dicky Knee.

    From a male perspective, we don`t need to see Judas Vomard in a thong either. This may even help to explain the hairdresser`s preference for a good big bone with his meat?

    Imagine, taking your shirt of when going for a swim!!!!! Shock horror.

    Yea probably, he has a few things going on in his head at once and for most people its a bit wierd meeting someone who is fit, intelligent and motivated all at the same time. Better to laugh and point at something foreign. Everything anyone throws at him is cheap spin shots.

    Better we have someone who is more "lowest common denominator" hey, appeal to the widest audience so everyone can relate and understand, dont worry about performance in the job mind you......votes are more important afterlll -at least that would appear to be ALP policy.

    Its going to be great once the libs take the next election under the leadership of Abbott..... All you knockers and sooks are going to eat your words, add to that the almost certain fact that the libs will force a double dissolution so the greens wont hold the balance of power in the senate....

    Yep its going to be great to see the labor party and the greens get smashed.... oh and i have a bunch of chaff bags ready to send out too.

    If anything, the Greens will gain a few votes, the ALP will loose a few and the Lib/Nat will remain pretty much where it is.

    The Lib's need to change course. No No No is running thin. There are a few policies they could support as the ends would be OK, but they are loathe to agree with anything.

    = ALP/Greens form another bastard gov't.

    Mate care to but money on it??? There is no hope for labor at the next election, they have proven they will LIE and cheat to get their way then turn their backs on those that voted for them. The greens are a joke that will soon go the way of the democrats.

    Sure....10 bucks ;)

    It's not just about the ALP, though is it.

    Many in the ALP wanted a carbon tax. If they went for onshore processing the would pick up even more votes.

    No, i think the Greens will get a stronger vote. More and more people are becoming environmentally....intense....their vote will be OK.

    The independents are the key.

    Again, the ALP/Greens will form gov't. It will take a massive win for the Libs/nats to govern in thier own right. I don't see that happening under No No Abbott.

    Out there in the real world they are losing support. Only the rusted on supporters and the totally delusional are sticking up for the greens.

    To all you Laborite/Green con victims. Before you carry on about Tony Abbot just remember that he is leader of the OPPOSITION. He is just doing his job, no different to no, no, Beasley and no, no Latham and no, no Rudd when they were leaders of the opposition.

    What else could Abbott say to silly ideas, yes yes yes? The ALP sookfest over the opposition leader refusing to help them balls everything up is juvenile and laughable. :mrgreen:

    erm not really - they could have come up with several platform policies and actually HAVE them. so for example they would have their solution to migration, their solution to climate change and their solution to the expanding mining two speed economy.

    but they have none. lol.

    they could also work with the government which was what malcolm turnbull was doing until his party kicked him out (it's called bipartisanship :) )

    when rudd was in opposition and he had his own policies. E.g. apology, cutting numbers in iraq and afghanistan, phasing out of workplace agreements, introduction of FairWork Australia, digital education revolution and increased immigration quota.

    HE didn't say no no no but had policies in place. What you say is what most Australians say ~

    Wait... we do...

    1. The Liberal Party of Australia are a leading provider of homophobic, bigotry and hypocritical services specialising in the management of immigrant bashing in Australia
    2. tax cuts to rich - tax the poor
    3. screw up medicare
    3.5 - screw up education - no more digital education revolution
    4. privatisation of all government held corporations
    5. treating women like slaves
    6. going back to times of the renaissance with no NBN
    7. Be the world's biggest polluter per capita while we watch countries like NZ and Europe with a carbon tax
    8. Watch Joe Hockey with his economic illiteracy ruining our economy when we have the World's Best Treasurer (Wayne Swan)

    Australian Treasurers who have received the World's Best Treasurer commendation were both from Labor (Keating and Swan)... what does that tell you Tony Abbott who keeps saying Labor cant manage the economy?

    NO WONDER MANY EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE RANKED HIGHER THAN AUSTRALIA ~ MAY BE WE SHOULD LEARN SOMETHING?

    But Abbott is such a good whinger...
    He gets people on an emotional level rather then on a rational level and how people feel is what counts...

    If people feel really strongly about something that's what makes it real, not facts..

    http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=/&gl=AU#/watch?v=ZoCKhNr8Atk

    Abbott quotes...

    "you can't save the country from opposition"- this is what makes Abbott comfortable with trashing Australia, destroying everything he can to get into power?

    "you can't protect people from the consequences of the government they elected"- so this is how it's going to be if you get in? We just have to deal with it with no protection? If I were a girl that let "elected" you into my house would that be it for me? Would all that you did be subsequently my fault?

    "to not oppose something is not the same to support something "- in reply to voting to passing issues that "Abbott both ways" said he was against..

    "Carbon Doxide" - pure literacy... Then he talks about "science nor being settled". If he doesn't have a grip on the language used to describe an issue, how can he judge it? Maybe it's Abbott's comprehension skills that "aren't settled"...

    "if you want to put a price on carbon, why not just do it with a simple tax"- Could such a thing be called a "carbon tax"? Is this one of those things Abbott is all for, but against / all against / all for?

    http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=/&gl=AU#/watch?v=Tc5ljcri6Nk

    See above... Seriously, people feel this cretin can "lead"

    HE does speak a little funny sometimes, but to call someone bad names because of speech difficulties is pretty f#$%d up. ALP crew have always been a desperate angry mob though. I guess its on par with hassling someone for wearing speedo's during a triathalon.

    Ahh Ah Ahh! You are so right! I could not have described LABOR AND THE GREENS better! "help me take Australia forward". Ahh Ah AHH AHH!!!!

    Yes it is important that we have a strong and vocal opposition. Big Tony and the Lib/Nats are doing a good job


    Sigh, how true. Just look at what we have got now.

    Correct. Just because you don't oppose something does not mean you support it. "Either you are with us or you are against us". Is that your philosophy mate?

    The whole context of Tony's crock of sh!t statement (just this particular one) was he publicly opposed carbon pricing, but in parliament he voted in favour of it. What a hypocrite. Nothing to do with with us or against us. All to do with total hypocrisy of an inconsistent power whoring egomaniac. The guy lacks moral fiber and unlike most politicians, he completely lacks any vision for Australia apart from himself standing at the helm. He is the embodiment of shallowness.

    Ahh, ooh, ahh... What is wrong with Australia now? Interest rates are low, employment is high. Social services are good. We are doing waaayyy better than most of the rest of the world. I work in an industry that would be secured by the carbon tax, I work in research and manufacturing of solar cells.

    I can see no reason why people are so upset when things are fine. Apart from the whinge factory Abbott getting traction on stupid peoples nerves.

    You know why people are still upset?

    Because they're bogans (50% of Australians according to my calculations).

    If 3 out of 4 economists are for the carbon tax and against the direct action policy...
    If 94% of scientists acknowledge significant rise in temperature and and 84% says there will be disastrous consequences...

    And 50% of Australian believe Tony Abbott (according to polls) saying that carbon is weightless and that we should not have a carbon tax.

    OH WAIT --> "if you want to put a price on carbon, why not just do it with a simple tax"



    Clap clap... nobody listen to the professionals... why do we have universities again?


    I AM SO CONFUSED

    why does nobody listen to people who are experts in the field but rather listen to sceptics and a politician who doesn't know sh*t about the environment and science.

    WHY DO WE HAVE UNIVERSITIES?

    It's all about feelings rather than facts. It's much easier to feel a certain way about something than it is to understand it. I am a scientist so I know human caused climate change is real. There is no way around the physics. Parts of what and when are disputable, though there are things that will definitely happen. The seas will rise at least 40cm by 2100. Average global temperatures will rise by at least 2C by then. There is no getting around the physics.

    To understand why, you have to understand things like the vibrational modes of carbon dioxide and how this interacts with photons. You have to understand things like mass and energy conservation laws. You have to have some experience with complex dynamic systems. The ability to read and understand journals helps. For yourself to be convinced and really understand what is going on, seamlessly, you really need a degree in science. Either that or trust the experts.

    Unfortunately people can't even identify who the experts are..

    This means they go to someone who makes them feel better about the situation. Someone with the best solutions. And what better way to go than "it isn't happening" with the solution of "do nothing".

    Feelings are more important than facts, as far as politics goes. But at the end of the day, reality is a b!tch...

    They had to specialise in something. Don`t forget though, Tony Abbott takes his shirt off to go swimming, oooooooooohhhhhhhh, the lesbians WILL be upset! Big issue that.
