Is Tony Abbott a good bloke?
Sep 22nd, 2018 at 4:19pm
 
I was asked that question in a MRB I prefer not to post in.  The answer is an emphatic 'No.'

He was a thug at University, a fraud at and post Oxford, is of questionable nationality, a liar, a grandstander, has his snout in the trough and a backstabbing prick.  I may have missed some of his lesser endearing qualities but that'll do for now.

Well now that I've got your answer Aussie, I can see why you'd reckon it's ok to have Abbott in my Cats & Critters thread

How about Bill Shorten, put him in also, balance the critters out a bit?

I know nothing about any Cats and Critters Thread so I have no idea what you are referring to.

As for Shorten........I am neutral.  Neither a fan nor critic.

Put me down as a no.

The guys has spent his life on the extreme side of nasty mean politics.

He is a thoroughbred of the opposite persuasion.

Tony Abbot is a Wanker, the STOP THE BOATS slogan took over from Julias MOVING FORWARD slogan, after that he had nothing and was rightly crucified for it, then scomo came along with JOBS AND GROWTH, (he seems a little quiet an that one these days, Shaun Micallef took the bumbling fool apart the other night on mad as hell, he wont last long) The public has had enough of these self serving short sighted lawyer types.

Abbott was a journo, Scomo an economist.

Abbott qualified as a Jurno and did a small amount of work. The fact is that Abbott was primarily a functioning politician from his school years and never really anything else.

He has a Master of Arts degree from Oxford which he attended under a Rhodes Scholarship.  He was given a Boxing Blue because he had two fights for Oxford against Cambridge.  He wanted one for Union but he was not good enough to make the Oxford Firsts.  So....he found that place in the boxing team JUST to get the Blue.

The Masters Degree was awarded NOT because he did extra study.  He graduated from Oxford with a mediocre plain degree.  After six years elapsed, as is Oxford practice, just by virtue of the passage of that  time, the pissy Degree is upgraded (on application/request) to a Masters Degree.

The only politician I consider to be a good bloke is Gough Whitlam cause he did so many things for the common folks.

So the arts degree was philosophy? I kinda remember he was trying to decide whether to become a priest or a politician

He went to a seminary in Sydney with former Labor Senator Joe Bullock.

Bullock convinced him to join the Liberal Party, rather than Labor.

And now, Joe Bullock is a member of the Liberal Party.

He studied here in the mid '80s, with Bullock.

They both dropped out to pursue political careers.

Not a good bloke imo

Arrested development

Bully

People are doing it hard due to loss of whatever family payments they were entitled to.  Family payments withheld because they have chosen to put their children's health first. Family payments withheld because they chose against vaccinations for their children, vaccinations they believe are harmful

vaccinations which Abbott's own children were able to avoid

Same as ex Qld Premier Bligh choosing (at whose expense) to have her entire house fitted with reverse osmosis technology, according to reports, thus sparing her family the much disputed benefits of fluoride in the water supply.  The Bligh household showered in fluoride-free water and drank fluoride free water, according to reports.  Meanwhile, taxpayers, millions of them, are dosed with fluoride for their 'health' whether or not they want it

Abbott has never really worked for his and his family's living

Who would employ Abbott?  What are his qualifications?  How long would anyone continue to emply Abbott?

Yet even though he was/is one of the few in the country able to enjoy above-average salary and job and financial security, he still couldn't resist rorting those (taxpayers) who've been forced to pay him for his dubious skills

he billed taxpayers will $9000 or more in travel expenses while he ran around the country touting his book about himself

he grabbed a peculiar scholarship for one of his kids and then took the whistleblower to court

Good bloke Abbott?

That's something I've always wondered too - who the hell would employ him?

He's an arrogant bully, and a dickhead to boot.

Not a good bloke in my book either.
