I'm still waiting for my first $900.....
Given that Krudd abolished the policies that worked and the boats had already stopped, and is now spending BILLIONS of tax payers' dollars in trying to fix the problem that he caused, it's a bit rich to have a go at Tony Abbott! As for the carbon tax, again, he is now leaving us wide open to a price on carbon which is to be determined by the free European market and subject to currency fluctuations between the AUD & the EUR.Gee. Smart move, Kevin. He really is a dead set idiot this bloke who believes more in his own self-determined importance than what he is doing to Australia.Get rid of the moron and the sooner the better. He is a danger.

In fact, Tony Abbott even supported a Carbon Tax...Google it.
Both parties will lie through their back teeth to get votes because we let them. It's actions, not words, I'll be judging.
Kev's upped the ante. Trump this, Tony.http://theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/immigration/bounty-offered-to-find-people-smugglers/story-fn9hm1gu-1226682653366

I thought he was really going after Tony.

Turnbull supported a an ETS too but I'm glad he's not leading the party - many of his views are very left of centre.

Why not properly fund the appropriate authorities to enable them to track down these criminals and do their job?Honestly, the man's a moron.I can't believe you fall for all this spin.Why do you think he has suddenly done this just before an election?A new found commitment to protect our borders and rid ourselves of these criminals? Or perhaps to try to win some votes from those who say he hasn't been tough enough?Liberal policies have been set and stable for years.Remember how many asylum seekers were in detention when Krudd took over?Google that.
necessary but has to be controlled, middle income earners should be supported not taxed to death.
My take on state Liberals regarding utility prices is that they have done too much too soon.There is no way the average punter can cope with the increases brought about by the Barnett government in its efforts to achieve price reflectivity.Having said that, of course blind Freddie could see they had to raise prices because in the previous eight years of Labor government they neglected their duties and didn't raise them one cent.So again, it was the Libs (at state level) who had to do the dirty work.But they went too far IMO. There is no way people should have been subjected to such massive increases in such a short space of time and I really thought it would have hurt the Liberals more at the last state election than it did.And as far as solar is concerned, it's a wait and see game but I can't say that I'm overly confident they will do the right thing by those who have already installed solar systems in their houses. I hope they do but I'm not holding my breath.

Hopefully that will remain the case.
Once again, an Australian government is spending truckloads of our money on advertising that is purely designed to win votes for itself. Both sides do it. Labor is even putting full-page advertisements in the Melbourne newspapers (so I imagine this is happening across the country) to tell potential refugees that they will be sent to PNG if they manage to get here. As if the refugees are sitting back, in Indonesia, reading The Age. Clearly, these adverts are aimed at voters, not refugees.I should keep a count on the different topics for all the ads. More jobs, better schools, NDIS etc etc. It's appalling. And politicians probably still wonder why they are held in contempt.
