Speaking of true colours, a very tired looking Abbott is giving a negative media conference as I type...

You lot have really allowed Abbott to wedge your Party on this one!

So, if that erratic and delusional nutjob becomes PM, we're probably all stuck with him...come what mega-mania monster may!

"I WOULD have gone ADSL2, but the privatised Telstra don't find the installation of infrastructure past 7km from an exchange financially viable"

Actually buzz, it's 2km from the exchange (using 2pair copper mains lines) AFTER 2km there need to be 'boosters'....
Depending of course on the age of the exchange.....

THE school computer program, courses to upgrade teachers' skills, and trade training centres would disappear under spending cuts by a Tony Abbott government.
About $1.5 billion in environmental programs, including plans to clean up dirty power stations and produce a "green" car, would be halted.

Moves to build 23 GP super clinics would be scrapped and eHealth, a scheme to put medical histories on centralised computer records, would be dropped.

The (Ballan) clinic boasts a full-time dentist and dental nurse, with Dr Marianne Brownlee taking appointments from last Thursday. Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon officially opened the clinic last Monday.

She said the GP Super Clinic team of healthcare professionals would provide integrated health-care services to meet the health needs and priorities of the Ballan community.

“The GP Super Clinic funding was used to improve information technology links to state-funded and diagnostic services, provide dental chairs, and improve access for the frail, aged and people with disabilities,” she said.

Ballarat federal Labor MP Catherine King said the provision of dental care in Ballan was a crucial additional benefit.

“There are 650 Ballan and district residents on the Ballarat Health Service public dental clinic waiting list,” she said.

“Having a full-time dentist in Ballan will eliminate waiting lists and also the need for Ballan residents to travel to Ballarat.”

my local liberal member is an arrogant, unhelpful twat, and while I would like to vote Liberal, I won't vote for him. So no one got my vote. He'll still be returned in this seat though.
I voted Liberal 1 above the line for the Senate, they're probably twats too, but I don't know them, so it was a bit easier.
What was particularly funny was the Lib Dems on the Senate ticket, right over at the extreme right hand side, just about to fall off the edge. How apt. Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye Bobby-good-bye!!

For what it is worth, just an observation.

I just watched the Hockey impromptu speech on CH 9. Very interesting. What he said in the emotion of the moment, without forethought and choreography. He was excited at the prospect of upheaval and chaos within the Labor Government and the thought that the Liberals would gain Government next election. There was no mention or concern about Australia or Australia's future, rather Glee at a dysfunctional government which will harm Australia.** Think about what was shown when the facade slipped**
