It'll give Abbott time to formulate some policies and outline his plan for Australias future

He's outlined many policies - rescind carbon tax, mining tax, pay off ALP debt, reign in Unions, resurrect policy to stop illegal immigrants, etc, etc. Labor has no policies, only unmitigated disasters that cost us billions and get people killed.

He needs to outline step by step how he is going to do these things otherwise its just statements..not policies

Desperate for an election as late as possible, aren't ya? Can't stand the thought that Abbott will be next PM and hope people will forget how absolutely useless Gillard and Rudd are between now and next year. Talk about wishful thinking!
