A statesman who can only operate under scripted conditions is not worth the carbon dioxide that leaves his mouth. This is why Kerry O Brien is one of the great political reporters. Once he is on to something, he latches on like a Pit Bull and no amount of verbal spin will make him let go. He gave the same treatment to Kevin Rudd. Rudd was quick on his feet and as slick as teflon but he still got a tough time from Kerry. Watching him go to work against some one as feeble as Tony was just brutal.
Where do you see education and proof of identity as a politician here with this idiot! Please, australian people deserved better speech leaders and also the and, and, and. come'n you have to vote for something better than this mozzie!
@bigredtaxi Just because you say it does not make it so...Kerry Obrien is tainted in the minds of many and would only get a job with the left wing ABC
"It wasn't completely consistent........." Is it just me or what? Politicians who dare to come out and say 'yep I got it wrong' or 'okay I changed my mind' or what ever, at least I'd respect them for admitting their error.
What a fuckwit. Brainless bogans love that dickhead. Wake up! I'm no big fan of Gillard, but she shits all over Abbott - he'd be a national embarrassment. Worse than Bush, he's a bloody moron with slogans.
i might vote liberal because im a total fucking retard that has no idea about issues but can relate to calling someone else a red headed rat rooting liar and ill push the agendas of big coal without even knowing it thank you very much. I get scared at the thought of a carbon tax because it has the word tax in it so instead of making big polluters pay & contribute to public finances ill go for a plan where us tax payers give money to them because I'm dumber than actual ape shit.
@massivefuckwitt well you right there cause you certainly are a retard. Those who want a tax on carbon should be the ones to pay for it.... you dumb shit
@breadbaker226 He gave the same garbage answer twice. "A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a uhhhhh a-ah-h-ah.....". The man could barely string together a sentence let alone an articulate answer.
We all can't be wrong, the conservatives have about as much economic credibility as a sloth. Known fact i'm afraid ... Howard did absolutely nothing for 11 years, the best thing that happened to the guy was him losing his seat.
@MrPurplefood Whatever you think, they are incompetent, and wouldn't be worthy to run a meat raffle, ha. Annnddd bbbigggg eaarrsss iissss thheeee biggest retard of them all along with Barnaby Beetroot.
If you're so sure about yourself then look at the deficits under labor, then look at the surpluses under the previous liberal government. who do you think are the better economists?
@MrPurplefood Ummm... 70 billion dollar black hole! 11 billion dollar blowout before the last election, 81 BILLION DOLLAR BLACK HOLE in total!! Please spare us the bullshit. Neither are good in my books but c'mon.
The ABC actually asks a legitimate question regarding Mr Abbott's penchant for changing his opinions like a 'weather vane', and they scream BIAS, ABC is BIAS! This was fair treatment by Kerry O, and Mr Abbott folded under pressure when confronted with his inconsistent position. The question is, mate, why aren't other news organisations asking him the exact same questions? Ms Gillard gets drilled daily, and handles it much better.
during the heat of the conflict what usually comes out is the true beliefs of the arguer. the "carefully scripted remarks" are just the toned down political spin. maybe people should realise this before considering to vote for phoney tony
This is all i need to hear. at least gillards so called lie. was for a reason. there would be no carbon tax under the government i lead. what she was prepared for was a minority government which changed her stance and chose to act rather than just not acting on climate change. she had the guts to act. but tony lies and lies and lies. if we are not careful he will lie his way into the lodge. because people are believing the lies unfortunatley .
@chelseafcrox but at least she does not lie, you cannont catch her out like this as there are no REAL lies just lies from the oppostion. i swupose why wouldnt you keep lieing. its working for him. and he isnt looking like the liar.
@likeagrin My point is I'd prefer her. Politics is all about lying. Whether they're in power, no matter which party you favour, lies and deception are inevitable. It's a shame they're all so blinded by their desire to out-do the other party that they've forgotten what their real purpose is: to do what's best for the Australian people.
@likeagrin You don't need to prove he lies. I know he does. Hence why we're on the same side. We both prefer Gillard. I support the Labor party. Personally, I'm pro-Rudd but that's not going to happen. Why are you trying to get me to prove something I don't need to prove? Obviously, Gillard, like all politicians, isn't going to be 100% honest. No politician is. Every politician has told at least one white lie. It's inevitable. I don't see why you even started this. We believe the same thing.
Abbot gets his scripts prepared by the Pope, big coal, big oil, the rich .... Often just after he has made comments they don't like. Juggling all those scripts is difficult. He will tell any lie and block any legislation regardless of its worth to the country or the views of its people. His idle and mentor Howard must bed proud. Remember Howard? Weapons of mass destruction Howard! Send other peoples brave sons and daughters to the middle east Howard.
The meaning of duplicity: "deceitfulness in speech or conduct; speaking or acting in two different ways concerning the same matter with intent to deceive; double-dealing". Yep, that Abbott in a nutshell.........
Do you even know the context Julia Gillard said that there would be no carbon price under a government she leads! She said it in the context of a majority prospect - that did no materialise - thus she had to negotiate - and now we have one of the most successful PM's working with other parties to get the best outcomes for the nation while the Coalition just whinge and provide no constructive policies.
@AharonMaster At last i see some sence here. if only you could explain this to 20 million people. we will not get anymore bullshit shoved down our throat by abbott
Imagine Brisbane's new Gateway Bridge, ready to be opened by Julia Gillard. It's been polished, painted and scrubbed by an army of workers till its 1 kilometre length is surgically clean. Except that Julia Gillard says we have a huge problem, the bridge is polluted - there's a human hair on the roadway. We'd laugh ourselves silly.
There are plenty of real pollution problems to worry about.

2.7% of Schools were WASTE - 1% of Housing WASTE it's been reviewed. SFU
QUIT YOUR LIBERAL PROPAGANDA LIES AND SPIN. FUCK OFF WITH YOUR STUPID BOAT PHONE YOU RACIST FUCK.
11 YEARS & Liberals done NOTHING - No infrastructure TOOK MILLIONS yr after yr from HEALTH, (Abbott as Health Minister) the GST, 6 LEVYS, let our HOSPITALS fall to bits - NOTHING on schools - While in Surplus.
Labor save our arse from RECESSION.
Abbott Anit gay, anti everything bar Christian, anit poor, RACIST PRICK.
I don't know what they have to say, It makes no difference anyway, Whatever it is, I'm against it. No matter what it is or who commenced it, I'm against it. Your proposition may be good, But let's have one thing understood, Whatever it is, I'm against it. And even when you've changed it or condensed it, I'm against it. I'm opposed to it, On general principle, I'm opposed to it.
Well, Abbott was right about one thing: people WILL make their own judgments about him. And they did at the election. Don't believe his nonsense about "more people voting Coalition than Labor". Labor's vote may well have gone down, but the Liberals' did not go up. Clearly, the majority of Australians would sooner prefer a Gillard Labor government in office, to an Abbott Liberal one.

Phony Tony went to his "Happy Place" today (during the interview) he is at a kind of day spa -re-evaluating his makeup choices & searching for the perfect fragrance to cover the"OLD MAN" smell after his romps with Johnny H.
Loved Abbotts "shit happens" comment regarding the death of a digger in Afghanistan. What does the fact that he is opposition leader tell you? Nothing to get fuckin excited about thats for sure. The Liberals are a disgrace and i dont even like Gillard and Labor!
After reading about this interview I figured it wasn't that big a deal ("Politicians occasionally lie or reverse their positions" - shocker), but Kerry actually got Abbott to say that not everything that came out of his own mouth could be trusted, which is just astonishing.
Not that it's exactly unexpected that a party leaders opinion doesn't adhere to the official party position on every single topic, which is probably what Abbott was trying to say without actually saying that.
@b2jamesb52 wooooooooooow, if you want to hoard useless crap then you're just a massive selfish jerk. it's a buttguy kind of thing to not want to help other people.
hahaha it makes me laugh when people claim that Rednecks vote liberal. Wrong, before you pathetic underclass comment on this video, try to think about this , i know its hard for you, The lower class eg. Rednecks vote labor because they get the Dole. then the educated people get taxed most of there pay to pay for the people that don't work? but obviously your dim wits cant wrap your head around that, typical
Mr Abbott makes the case that hes just another politician. This isn't the case, most politicians don't use "well I lied to try to be elected, thats standard right?" as an excuse for lying.
He is clearly a dogmatic individual, as well as a lying worm. Playing on thoughtless rednecks fears and delusions is reprehensible, thank god he wasn't elected.
the liberal party know Tony is inccompetent he is the best man to lead them its a shame only 20000 have viewed this God help us when this party takes office
but but but but and and and and .... ababababsolutely.....i i i i i said said said , well well well well ...but but but but ..... what a clown. Australia sure dodged a bullet when this fool lost the election.
Julia Gillard is a fucking embarrassment to America and Barrack Obama...sure, I completely agree that she is an excellent politician, but fuck me her bogan accent is enough to wince at.
DId anyone happen to read Mr Swan's pre-excuse for not getting the budget back in surplus? The strong aussie dollar. Yes thats right folks, the AUD, the thing Swan has been talking up for months, taking all credit for its strength is now apparently the reason why he cant meet his promise in 3 years. The only person who couldnt see its strength was apparently Mr Swan.
Labor had no intention of getting us back to surplus and he found he excuse, 2 months after the election.
Shit the Labor Party MUST promote him now, while he has been chief of the Left propaganda unit he must now be given a safe Labor seat, maybe South Brisbane?
Where's the one where he tries to deny meeting with a priest, and Tony Jones catches him out in the lie?
Christians should hate Tony Abott even more than atheists or agnostics - shouldn't a Christian have some moral backbone, and not just say what he thinks people want to hear from day to day?
Well, you all can go to hell with the red devil running shop now. Mock him all you want, in three years you will be regretting have voting for labor. They have raped this country, and now theres no funds they will put us even more back. Knock someone on their faith, you pathetic little youtube nerds. Think your all tough with your freedom to critisize the world behind the safety of your computer. You negetive nerds.
Mate I thought I was the only upper class, piece of shit, faggot, tory, jew etc etc etc etc, to venture on to the Labor, Al Bore and the Doomsayers, Bob Brown and the P Jabbers, ABC, Channel 7 Channel 10 other extreme left wing sites!
Do you ever get a laugh at the intelligence level (language etc) that these troops come out with?
Crikey I suppose it does make it easy to get thier votes!
@inatrance81 - I think that the issue here is not his Christian values but the fact that he's a bald-faced liar. And if he can freely admit that on television, how could anyone believe that he'd be true to his so-called Christian values anyway, let alone to promised policies.
I don't have a problem with people of faith running this country as long as they leave faith out of the job. It takes a bucket-load more than faith to adminstrate a nation effectively.
Or it could be that on the same day the RBA didn't raise interest rates. Perhaps you should ask Hockey to fix the financial problems, apparently he can't even bloody count.
@lmadigan1971 The highest value of the Aussie dollar against the $US occurred when Labor was in office (1.07 in April 2011). The lowest value ever was under the Coalition (47.75 in March 2001).
omg, if tony abbott becomes prime minister, he will give me the shivers.
It will be such an embarrassment for Australian Politics. Imagine him on the world stage speaking about economic stability.... stutter stutter stutter .... fail.
That's bullshit mate. Kerry O'brien is one of the most fairminded neutral parties in the media. Remember Rudd's hissy fit on the show about the way he was treated? 99% of the media is conservative tripe. The only place you can find balanced reporting is in the Aus Fin Review and on the ABC. If you go on to the show and try to bullshit Kerry he is going to expose you for what you are. Typical infant response from a liberal voter, it's not fair that we don't get it all our way.
I doubt weather Triangle himself regards himself as neutral.
None the less its good to see all the Pinkos, druggos, union heavies etc all getting together to inseminate a few trees and kill off a bit more business.
Yep tho I am a conservative, my Dad used to kill communists and it sort of sticks in the genes of Rednecks like me!

"tailoring" is Mr Abbott's best trait.

Maybe shit doesn't happen as Tony only said it, he didn't write it and sign it.
Death stare at any question that actually puts him out as only valid response from senior 'statesman' to any question that he doesnt want to answer???

Well, Abbott was right about one thing: people WILL make their own judgments about him. And they did at the election. Don't believe his nonsense about "more people voting Coalition than Labor". Labor's vote may well have gone down, but the Liberals' did not go up. Clearly, the majority of Australians would sooner prefer a Gillard Labor government in office, to an Abbott Liberal one.

After reading about this interview I figured it wasn't that big a deal ("Politicians occasionally lie or reverse their positions" - shocker), but Kerry actually got Abbott to say that not everything that came out of his own mouth could be trusted, which is just astonishing.
Not that it's exactly unexpected that a party leaders opinion doesn't adhere to the official party position on every single topic, which is probably what Abbott was trying to say without actually saying that.

Wrong, before you pathetic underclass comment on this video, try to think about this , i know its hard for you, The lower class eg. Rednecks vote labor because they get the Dole. then the educated people get taxed most of there pay to pay for the people that don't work? but obviously your dim wits cant wrap your head around that, typical

Mr Abbott makes the case that hes just another politician. This isn't the case, most politicians don't use "well I lied to try to be elected, thats standard right?" as an excuse for lying.

DId anyone happen to read Mr Swan's pre-excuse for not getting the budget back in surplus? The strong aussie dollar. Yes thats right folks, the AUD, the thing Swan has been talking up for months, taking all credit for its strength is now apparently the reason why he cant meet his promise in 3 years. The only person who couldnt see its strength was apparently Mr Swan.
Labor had no intention of getting us back to surplus and he found he excuse, 2 months after the election.

@inatrance81 - I think that the issue here is not his Christian values but the fact that he's a bald-faced liar. And if he can freely admit that on television, how could anyone believe that he'd be true to his so-called Christian values anyway, let alone to promised policies.
I don't have a problem with people of faith running this country as long as they leave faith out of the job. It takes a bucket-load more than faith to adminstrate a nation effectively.

That's bullshit mate. Kerry O'brien is one of the most fairminded neutral parties in the media. Remember Rudd's hissy fit on the show about the way he was treated? 99% of the media is conservative tripe. The only place you can find balanced reporting is in the Aus Fin Review and on the ABC. If you go on to the show and try to bullshit Kerry he is going to expose you for what you are. Typical infant response from a liberal voter, it's not fair that we don't get it all our way.
