It's hardly surprising that Abbott doesn't feel overly pressured pandering to the 7-point whims of those whom bark them.

But Gillards still hopeful her Jedi mind-trick will suffice.

A short red skirt perhaps?

Beware Libs: attack-dog Abbott's arrogance is his perhaps his Party's biggest problem in these negotiations...

What if he gets so delusional, cocky and/or aggressive that the Independents refuse to deal with the Party whilst he's still at the helm!?

Will self-preservation kick in - or will you hold yourselves to the high moral ground you took in relation to Rudd's knifing!?

I think you will find Tony Abbotts less, shall we say 'aggressive' when it comes to attacking his own dogs.

Bad-form re- the Rudd ordeal, I reckon this was what spoiled it for them, really I do.

...Aside from Labors bad-economics and apparent in-party dysfunction this is.

I think you will find many hold to the "high moral ground" concerning "Rudd's knifing".

I think you will find many made a decision to dump a first term government on that basis.

After all why should one trust a government when even their leader could not?

Nah, you ain't seen nothing yet! When Abbott ultimately let's fly, he won't hold back - he'll even outdo Latham...

Trust me Equ, no one could out mad-dog Latham.

Liberal have a humble record, whereas Labor, well, they generally disembowel their own before they leak any shred of credibility, paint them mad, before the media/public can determine the facts for themselves.

Cool

...Have you not heard of Labors most-recent resignation?

Another one bites the dust....

Did you see his face when looking at Abbott, gave him the mad-dog stare, Jeesus that man's scary sometimes.

There seems to be this notion the coalition has not accomplished much.

Yet to see the most popular PM (Cardboard Kev) in recent times beheaded by the GALP machine out of fear of the coalition, and then to see the person tasked with his execution, and said, by Bill Shorten, to be the best the GALP has to offer blown away by the people on August 21 is in fact a major triumph.

Particularly as history was definitely against a first term government being toppled.

No wonder the coalition and its supporters are elated.

Tony has accomplished so much, he brought his party back from the dead, fought a battle against not one leader, but 2, (Rudd and Gillard)...this and still came through.

He's a stayer, there's no doubt about it.

Comes down to endurance I think.

So, damn it, I'm going to send the man a present. Never have I felt so pleased, passionate about an election victory, never in my life. He well and truly earned it.

Ye smellie, well may gloat.
I wonder if you have any clue of the national party's policies and what you voted for there?

Given that labor got 38% of the primary vote and the libs got 30% (without the nationals), I wonder would happen if labor and the greens formed a co-alition?

And you bang on about labor trying to gain the support of independents? Sheesh Roll Eyes

I think it's understandable that ye might want to 'celebrate' Tonys election victory?

Tonys been a stayer, has brought the liberal party back from the brink of death, toppled two leaders , had to fight off the trickery of numerous factional war-lords and a few other has-been ALP leaders also...and has well and truly earned his right to lead the nation. Furthermore, more people voted for Tony Abbott as an individual as per their primary vote than they did Gillard.

You need to accept this fact, you appear a tad lost.
Do you know what a primary vote is?

Now would the real Miss Gillard please stand aside, please stand aside, please stand aside...

Cool

Abbott has refused to release the costing for his policies.....and the Liberal faithful bang on about accountability and honesty.....you have no concept of these principles......Abbott is divisive, negative and running away from being up front with the Coalitions costing....ask yourself WHY did Abbott refuse to have his policies costed by treasury and why is he refusing now......what is Abbott trying to hide.....if the costing add up then their would be nothing to leak.....Abbott is a flake of the highest order.....Australia deserves better than Abbott is providing!!!
