Sorry, David. I meant to respond to your question with a brief, point-form summary of the main things wrong with Abbott - just the really serious ones, not the trivia - but the computer crashed and I lost the post when I was half-way through typing it in. Er ... page 104, I think I was on.David wrote:Tony Abbott. Sorry to keep going on about him, but WTF is wrong with this guy?

It sounds like Tony had a bit of a tanty about not getting the armchair ride he got in opposition. It seems to me that the coalition is doing far more damage to Australia's reputation than the ABC ever could, with the lack of respect to our closest and populous neighbour Indonesia being one example.Tannin wrote:Sorry, David.

Abbott's desire for local news outlets to portray Australia and its navy in a positive light is far from unique. Here's where this mentality invariably ends up:

By the way, how about him agreeing with serial liar and racist Ray Hadley that there's a "double standard" in him and Alan "Cash for Comment" Jones being pursued by the ACMA while the ABC gets off scot(t)-free? As if they're somehow two sides of the same coin? Perhaps when the ABC's presenters blatantly misrepresent statistics to stir up anti-refugee sentiment they'll get a few more complaints, Ray.

I find this all dreadfully sinister.Tony Abbott wrote:I was very worried and concerned a few months back when the ABC seemed to delight in broadcasting allegations by a traitor, this gentleman Snowden, or this individual Snowden, who has betrayed his country and in the process has badly damaged other countries that are friends with the United States. Of course, the ABC didn't just report what he said; they took the lead in advertising what he said.

No wonder the public health system is always short of funds - discovered today that medical specialists get $22,000 a year for Continuing Medical Education 
That is just a ridiculous amount - especially given how many beds are disappearing and the ever increasing wait time for elective surgery!
