I don't get why he is so unpopular. Knighting the Prince was defo unpopular but prior to the election the two most important things the voters wanted was to stop the boats and the carbon tax.

He is not my favourite PM but I don't know why he is poison.

[JD-120]

Yeah in thinking Abbott.. His mannerisms annoy me. So for me, my dislike of him is purely superficial. :-) Who ever is in had a tough time recovering the country

Because he broke almost every election promise , he did countless things he said he'd never do (cuts to abc, education cuts, Medicare Co payment....next will be the dead and buried work choices) and he's a cheesy patronizing arrogant dick...Basicly.
Not that any of that's uncommon with politicians

And this was different to the previous PM

You just described half of Canberra. The other half aren't pollies.

So staying out of this....so just ignore this post.

Mostly because of his past, 'mad monk' and all that.  He has a serious image problem, he could speak rainbows and gum drops but people will still hate him with a rabid (almost obsessive) passion.  He also bows to the extreme right of the liberal party, although he himself leans more to the left.  The Australian government has a structural problem with its economy, it is as simple as we spend more than we earn.  Currently our debt is low but it is growing, and will get out of control unless we do something about it.  That needs reform, and if anything the past decade with the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd/Abbott governments has shown that Australians don't want reform.

Anyone who dares to take away the lolly will get booted out in spectacular fashion.

Yeah the co payment did it for me, what with my ciggies and grog now cost $150-200 pw there is no way I can afford $7 to go to the quack.

Abbott hating is a sport and when he was in opposition he paved the way for it to become professional. And him opening his mouth helps the haters because he can put his foot in. . I hope Turnbull gets in Don't  particuly like him but he will hold stead and probably govern for 2-3 terms which is what the country needs.  A revolving door of leaders or governments is not what we need.

You just described half of Canberra since governor macquarie.

Said perfectly

[dales133]

Hey I was just answering a question.anyones welcome to be part of the 30 odd percent that don't think he's a nob


And yes I agree we need to reduce our debt but it dosn't need to be done in one budget and at the expense of election promises. ..that's why he was elected

I don't think Turnbull will get in, I think it will be put to the vote and fail.  The whole ute gate debacle is still hanging around his neck, and he is very much on the nose of the die hard right wingers in the LNP.  Turnbull is very centrist, he would feel just as home in the ALP as the LNP.

Sorry to rain on your parade, But Politics, as is religion it's a personal thing.
Something that is discussed face to face.
Not here.

Way too much 'lolly' squandered on the 'haves' in the Howard Costello years.
Costello made an 'art' of it, which reached its pinnacle in the legislating of unlimited tax free super pay outs when over 60.
Govt should've  been putting $ away then from the front end of the mining boom for the rainy day that has now arrived.
Abbott was a key player back then, so bears some responsibility for it. Instead of trying to rectify it he was trying for more of the same with his full pay parental leave for wealthy lawyers - his own profession - until the backlash from his back bench.
I reckon he will get rolled and a Bishop - Morrison ticket will get up.
It is interesting that Bishop has built her profile using the UN Security Council chair as a vehicle. If she is elected I wonder if she will say 'thanks' to Rudd, who drove the campaign for Australia to get the position, against massive opposition and ridicule from Abbott and the Libs.
This position has been invaluable to Aus to press its case on issues such as the Ukrainian air tragedy.
Yuit the latest example of something where Conservative short sighted ness would have cost us in the international arena, if they had been successful.

Totally agree.  If we had adopted the Norwegian model back then we would have been a lot better now.

Yes it was bad policy, designed mostly to improve his standing with the female vote, but didn't hold water.  By the way, Abbott is/was a journalist, not a lawyer.  He has a Bachelor of Laws, but is not and never has been a lawyer.

I reckon he will get rolled and a Bishop - Morrison ticket will get up.

That would be funny to see.

Abbott....................they (Libs.) are a bunch of pussies and don't have the guts to do him in.
