Why won't the PM answer questions on his big new tax?

[isaacsexmachine]

His ignorance is almost palpable.

[TheLolbot3000]

Its funny that instead of an intelligent debate, some people are swearing and yelling obsenities at those they disagree with. YOu know, demonising the oposition is how wars start. Accept that people have different views, and share a calm and civilised debate. Hitler wholeheartedly demonised a community to the stage where people went out and attacked Jews in the street. Plz just show respect for your fellow men and women and their views

[locko7550]

Anthony Albanese stifling democracy in Australia since 2007

[jackieclark123]

LOL

Kevin and Julia are just like

"you're crazy bitch, i didnt say that bitch" lol jokes.

no matter what politicians do they can never make anyone happy.

im sure if abbot was PM he wouldve had to introduce a tax at some point or other.

gosh i really dislike tony abbot *facepalm* lol

[teslaglobal]

liberal made this nation what it is today. its fucking changed alot since 1998 and Liberal made all the new laws and fell for the Bullshit war In Iraq. I completely opose this we all know 911 was an inside Job But Oh No Johnny howard and his best mates Liberal cocksuckers. Now they want to regulate the banks and tell people where thay should anbd should not bank. Its true Liberal will bullshit to their kids to get in they beleive their own bullshit. Lies and Spin. Cocksuckers.

[tacticalmastermind]

So the liberal party opposes a mining tax? no wonder, because they actually get funded by them. Oh well, might as well let the mining companies take their money overseas and wait till all our resources get dried up to actually try and make a profit from them. Oh, wait!

[Kirkzzy]

/facepalm

[ArcaneDevo]

??? Why are we still PRETENDING to be a democracy and why is the general population still under the belief that its the way Australia works has nobody got eyes ears or a brain? can you not see past the BS

If we dont wake up it will be too late

please think for yourselves people don't make a decision based on what your told by shepherds on strings.

[ausdriller1]

"I think the I's have it.."!?!?!?!?!?! is that how our parliament makes decisions on whether or not to silence members of government? you've got to be fucking shitting me. fucking pathetic country with a fucking shit system... we'd have to be for someone like rudd to get voted in, not to mention labor has a huge history of over spending and sending us deeply into defecit, stupid stupid CUNTS. yeah lets all vote labor whose plans are to weaken the mining industry, the economic backbone of aus

[ColdWarWarriors]

Abbott can shove his Work Choices.

[OzzieBo]

@ColdWarWarriors in Abbott's own words, "“Work Choices is dead, it's buried, it's cremated.”

[tacticalmastermind]

@OzzieBo and then he denied saying anything like that the next day and went back on his word say "nothing is for certain".

[skoonskate23]

[ViperOverLord]

LOL Kevin Rudd Spining on his chair. (0:07) to (0:10) And sipping water and him being relaxed.(1:03) to (1:06) Wow seems so easy maybe i should go into politics. lol

[nerbne]

Want to tell me why he's so interested in mining communities & mining positions then neglects the rest of the industries out there? Time to look at our own policies before it's to late most of the country work in other industries & some of our own policies will hurt us do you even think about other industries? Are the mining companies paying you or something?

Sure I don't like the idea of a mining tax but I also don't like the idea of a recession caused by this guy.

[BravoCharlieTV]

Vote Green in Melbourne.

[petejt]

The chick standing behind Tony ain't half bad.....

[ignoredyoualready]

Rudd obviously thought it was a rhetorical question.

[jorologo]

Kevin Rudd and his Ministers are "A Kitchen Cabinet Party"

[peterm3964]

Choke the goose that laid the golden egg.

That what kevin the lemon and his useless mob of hot airbag greenies and failed popstars did .

[KL2010]

This is exactly why I don't vote. Haven't voted for over 20 years. AEC took me off the Roll 20 years ago due to an administrative eror . . . . thank god. I'll happily leave it to all you lemmings out there to scurry along every two years or whenever you're told to and fill out your little voting forms. Suckers !

[Keruaran]

Ok, we can't vote Labor. But are you all seriously going to vote for Abbott and his muppets? If you all don't have more brains than that then my faith in the Australian electorate is at an all time low.

[gbanger666]

@Keruaran What else is there? Donald Duck?

You cant vote for Greens because they will set the country back 50 years (and they give preference to Labor) so youre either forced to stick with Labor and their semi communist class war tactics or go with the Liberals.

[Keruaran]

@gbanger666

Donald Duck would be better than Tony Abbott. The opposition front bench is still nothing but a conga line of miserable obscurantist Tory suckholes with no policies of substance that you couldn't already find in John Hewson's Fightback! of the early 90's (I'm serious, go have a read). In turning to Abbott the Liberal party confrimed itself as a dog returning to its own vomit.

The incumbents are a miserable excuse for a Labor government, but there are worse things even than them.

[darkaus32]

kevin rudd sucks

[pquodling]

Note Krudd spinning in his chair - he doesn't even have the intestinal fortitude to look his accusers in the eye. The only graceful thing he can do know is call an election - no cash splash, or promise or threat is going to improve his ballot position over the next 6 months. He should stop trying to avoid the inevitable.

[themios72]

THIS ISNT DEMOCRACY THIS COMMUNIST RUSSIA!

[themios72]

whats happening here in australia? unbelievable! the leader of the coalition told to shut up, how can this be? why doesn't kevin rudd answer him? this is pushing it to far this kevin rudd is a dictator and a pawn of the new world order. god help us all!

[Ozipeter]

Rudd has no friends or factions to get him out of this... no PM has ever recovered from a poll under 35%... and he would have to be ' very special' to get him out of this one...

[chrisfawkes]

Rudd is a coward.

[SaladNinja3569]

How do they have the right to do that? You can't just stop Abbott from questioning the PM! This is blatantly and shamelessly undemocratic. Could somebody explain how this works?

Btw, Tony, I don't agree with your particularly rightwing social views, but Australia must be liberated from KRudd, an abusive, lying quasi-socialist hellbent on killing off enterprise by using the private sector as a cash cow. It is utterly repugnant.

[AsanineAssassin]

@SaladNinja3569 most of parliament operates on convention not rule. It's convention that all questions are heard, but there's no rule against it. It could be that the ALP felt Tony had asked this question too many times, or simply, they were out of pre-prepared answers to read off a sheet at the public.

[SaladNinja3569]

@AsanineAssassin Aah, that makes sense. Cheers. It is still utterly despicable, however.

[nac2324]

help save us from rudd the dudd

[llllloooooo]

0:43 - 0:48

"Help me Albo, help me Albo!!"



[theredraven]

I live in the UK but I was up late watching this live in the internet. I've never seen a government do something so petty as to try and stop a member speaking.

And it's strange. In Britain, miners are/were the Labour Party shocktroppers. Yet in Australia, the ALP ants to tax them into unemployment. How odd.

[demonicx7]

Please Tony win the next election. Labor and the trade unionists cannot be trusted to handle Australia's economy.

[drtbjc]

@demonicx7 heeeeaaaaaarrrrr

[Hyougen]

@demonicx7 fuck ur stupid

liberal opposed stimilus which saved australia from depression u retard fuck

[demonicx7]

@Hyougen Actually your stupid for believing that Labor bullshit moron. Go back under your bridge troll.

[flyerboy1963]

@demonicx7 No room for fools like Tony abbott the mad monk Thats facing bankruptcy him self Tony abbott finds it hard to live on $200.000 a year Yeah great Guy to the Country

[hyp3rstrike]

"Will drive investment off shore" -- Too late, Mr. Abbott.

I'm already buying my goods overseas, because prices for general stuff here in Australia is just fscking ridiculous.

[JohnRhysMusician]

This tax is International news. It is making Oz look stupid.

[sirjohnwinstonhoward]

Abbott will be the next PM.

[BackRoomPokerStar]

@sirjohnwinstonhoward Sure hope so........

[achered]

rudd is a muppet. deliver on some promises or gtfo. 

[drtbjc]

@achered hear

[demonicx7]

This is rigged, Rudd you suck.

[ShowsOn]

Why doesn't Abbott want Question Time to happen?
