Is Abbott a two year old? He's claiming labor stole his policies? Surely if its a good policy then its a good policy and everyone should jump on board and help it pass parliament .. or is this going to be another good policy when he says it, then he'll vote against it because the sky will fall down if we do that? Shouldn't we all contribute to the good ideass pool?
And for all the morons on here jumping on his bandwagon, may I suggest you grow a brain .. they all use each others ideas .. they tinker around with them, change figures to make them unique, but the libs steal as many policies as the ALP does ... I'm more concerned with all the good ideas that don't get stolen because of poor polling results .. surely thats a bigger concern?

Calling debaters "morons" just because they don't go along with your idea of what a party should do does you no credit.
What do you mean "if we do that?" Are you a Minister within the Labor Party....haha.
What is unfortunate is that when Labor steals the policies, they always tweak them so that it always seems to disadvantage Australians....they seem to always think that throwing money at something will fix it or make it better...i.e., $10,000 as opposed to $3,000+ for employers..3 months as opposed to 6 that the libs proposed..... I wonder if they are too afraid to produce their own policies because they so often fail? It must be a huge embarrassment to them....pink batts????...who will ever forget that disaster, even resulting in 4 deaths... among so many others poorly thought out before implementation ...that's what happens when this Labor bunch DON'T pinch policies from the other side.
Sad really, that they are so inept ...nothing like the worker's party that once existed. People will not forget Labor's mistakes in a hurry....too many people have been hurt.
Hope they pinch the Libs policy to get rid of the Carbon Tax....now THAT would show some brains!!!!
Moron is anyone opposed to a good idea (i have to assume it's a good policy if both parties are arguing over who thought of it)... a good idea is a good idea, regardless of who thought of it, it doesn't matter who thought of it.. and if its good for the country, then only a moron would complain that it's 'stolen'. .. who cares where it comes from, as long as its implemented ... both parties steal ideas, don't be more of a hypocrite than you already are
As for your second point 'if we do that 'was purely based on Abbott's past performances . He always cites the end of the world if the AlP is allowed to implement it's policy, even if he originally thought of the policy ( OK, I'm a tad melodramatic, but the point is the same)
No I'm not a minister in the party (wrong again ) not even a member, although i say there is a good chance that your a member of your local branch ......
You mention PINK BATTS ... the scheme did what it was supposed to do ... it was a roaring success ... the fact that people died because of unscrupulous employers is not the federal governments fault ... in fact its the state governments that are responsible for issuing licenses to do that work , and they need to make sure the people they give the license to are appropriately trained ... Do you blame Howard's transport ministers for all the deaths on the roads during his term in office, or the minster for social services every time some kid dies from Abuse or neglect? if not then don't be a hypocrite ...
The only thing that is inept is the coalition as it stands ... nothing positive to say in the last four or five years , despite the fact that the rest of the world is heaping praise on the Australian economy, how sad... if the economy goes under you can rest assured that Abbott has played as much a role in undermining consumer confidence as anyone else .. what a sad bunch of wankers they are
