It is Tony Abbott that wants an election now and he wants the Australian people to vote for the Coalition.....Tony Abbott will be exposed when he has to release his policies and have them scrutinised by the electorate.....Lets not forget before the 2010 election the Coalition claimed their policies all added up and where audited by the fourth biggest accounting firm in the nation.....It was during the election we found out that the Coalitions policies did not add up and where up to $10 billion dollars short of the mark.....Not only that doughnut man Joe Hockey claimed the Coalitions policies where fully audited and took offense to any criticism or claims that it was not the case.....Since then of course we have learned that the Coalitions policies where not audited and the accountants concerned where reprimanded for failing to clarify they did not audit the Coalitions policies and in fact merely checked to see if the numbers added up not if the assumptions where accurate or that the claims being made by the Coalition could be verified and confirmed as a proper audit should do!!!

Doughnut man Joe Hockey has claimed he will not allow the PBO to cost Coalition policies and will go down the road of using a private accounting firm once again.....So when it comes to honesty and integrity where it really matters in delivering sustainable policies to the Australian people the coalition are proven liars and incompetents.....This is where Abbott will fall over and fail once again in the face of delivery and substance.....$70 billion dollars cannot be ripped from the budget without services and delivery being reduced and it cannot be covered up with clever accounting tricks.....Abbott is going to stuff the Australian economy and deliver nothing to fund his tearing down of revenue based policies and promised delivery of high end tax cuts.....How can Abbott be trusted when he refuses to cost his policies and will ony confirm more money for the rich and powerful and less for those in society that reallly need it???

Patience, grasshopper, patience.
2013, the year of Coalition policies.
2012, the year of kicking Labor arse.

Why has Tony Abbott just said NO to protecting workers' entitlements. And who supports this, and why?

Last night Tony Abbott and the Coalition announced that they will say 'no' to legislation that would ensure workers are able to access their entitlements where directors have abandoned a company, said Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer, David Bradbury.

The Corporations Amendment (Phoenixing and Other Measures) Bill 2012 gives the corporate watchdog, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the power to order the winding up of abandoned companies.

Directors may try to avoid having to pay employee entitlements by simply walking away from their company and leaving employees in limbo, without work and unable to be paid salaries or access redundancy and other entitlements. Workers can access the Government's General Employee Entitlements and Redundancy Scheme (GEERS), which ensures that workers can receive their entitlements even if a failed company cannot meet its obligations, but only if a company has been placed into liquidation.

Since when did the Opposition lead the country?

Abbott is under no obligation whatsoever to release any policies until an election campaign is called.

Last time, the Labor Party literally stole half of Howard's policies anyway so you can see why they wouldn't.

Without policies from the opposition party, poll results are irrelevant.

So all those right wingers,  you cant claim poll wins means you should be in government and then say you cant release policies yet, and expect anyone to take you seriously.
