That's funny, because I am doing medical science at uni.
I'm not going back into it, I have already explained myself. I am leaving, I'm glad, good luck with your carbon tax.
If I can just clarify Matty's position here - when Matty says "your" carbon tax, he is referring to all Australians, including himself. Matty did not mean to distance himself from his Australian citizenship, or indeed, his love for Australia, which is profound.
While Matty understands that removing the carbon tax will be a challenge for the incoming government, he believes that it will be possible, in line with Coalition policy. Matty is currently studying medical science - he is not a constitutional lawyer. But he doesn't rule out a series of double dissolution elections if a Liberal majority is not reached in the senate. Obviously, repealling the carbon tax will take a number of years if Mr Abbott decides to go with this policy after the next election.
As an election has not been called, Mr Abbott is under no obligation to explain his alternative policies. As opposition leader, his job is to obstruct and oppose the government. Mr Abbott is not required to explain himself or solve the current government's problems for them.
Matty supports Mr Abbott 100%.
