Didn't he want to ban plan B? Oh, silly me, that was RU486.

What freakin' "performance"??

Performance, by definition, means having done something; usually something useful....

Wink


A bit harsh Froggie....We are getting new fighter jets once they can get them off the ground.....We are also getting new subs from the Japanese because Australian ship builders are required for Abbott's green army.....We will also get a PPL scheme that will cost 6 billion a year to reward the mother with the biggest income who get the most benefit.....We will get higher University fees to make education of the poor more unattainable.....We will get higher fuel and gas prices prices.....We will get the unemployed to suffer for six months on nothing whilst unemployment rises.....We will have to pay more to see the doctor but there is a chance we will cure cancer (better hope you don't catch Ebola).....We will be able to contribute to the extermination of more Muslims in the Middle East and it will only cost a few billion a year.....What is there not to like Froggie???

Huh Huh Huh


"We are getting new fighter jets once they can get them off the ground" - They're already flying, including our first two for the RAAF.

"We are also getting new subs from the Japanese because Australian ship builders are required for Abbott's green army" - No decision has been made as to where the subs will come from or be built. Also, an Army has no use for submarines, unless they can sail under land.

"We will get higher fuel and gas prices prices" - You didn't seem to mind paying much more on the carbon tax. Ten bucks a year extra on the fuel excise increase - it's a pittance!

"We will have to pay more to see the doctor but there is a chance we will cure cancer (better hope you don't catch Ebola" - Only for the first ten visits and only if you don't already qualify for free services as a pensioner, etc.

"We will be able to contribute to the extermination of more Muslims in the Middle East and it will only cost a few billion a year" - So we should allow Muslim fanatics to indiscriminately murder innocent women and children? Choose your words extremely carefully, as Hitler was the last person to refer to "extermination" in the way you have and what is occurring in the Middle East now with our fighter jets is not comparable in the least.


Sarcasm seems to elude some people when they are so blinded by partisan bullshit....

The JSF couldn't even make the air show because it caught on fire (I hope it wasn't one of ours).....

Of course we will get the subs from the Japanese because Tony is so impressed with their armed forces (Especially during WW11).....

Green Army....lol......

Because the fuel excise is indexed I can look forward to paying even more over time so of course I am happy about it duh.....

Crikey if I see the doctor 10 times a year then I would have to be really sick, this tax will make sure I remain ignorant and healthy until I drop dead.....

They say once you bring Hitler into the debate you have already lost the argument.....Lets hope we engage in more civil wars now we have set the standard.....We have to use those two new fighters somewhere!!!

I think a Medical Research Fund is a good idea.
It is a growth area.

Who profits? Corporations. So make corporations fund it. Abbott's got no problem at all imposing a 1.5% tax on a selection of corporations to fund his PPL. Why not tax the corporations who will reap the fat profits to fund this?

Humans hopefully benefit from medical health research.

Especially the select few who own shares in big pharma corporations.

Maybe the Scientists did not give a frothy overenthusiastic response as Mr Abbott spoke the plain facts.

Abbott's got no credibility in the scientific community after asserting that "climate change is crap", abolishing the Minister for Science, slashing the CSIRO's budget, appointing a climate change denier to review the funding for alternative energy, and other similar actions that demonstrate that he just doesn't get science. Actions speak louder than words. Why should he be trusted on science?


the CSIRO have many bizarre projects, eg mapping emotions around the world in real time .

why should I fund that ?

You have not answered my question. Why should Abbott be trusted on science?

So... lets sum up here.

You guys claim to love science but when Abbott proposes an huge medical research fund you... oppose it.

and the reason is...  well it is simple: abbott proposed it.  If the ALP had proposed it you would be trumpeting it.

I don't recall anyone opposing the fund itself.

As I said, I think it would be a great idea, but that it is completely at odds with how the government has been cutting money away from existing research groups.

Nobody is against a medical research fund - it is a terrific thing to do.

People oppose the fact that the poorest in our society are the people who are expected to pay for it.
