Super Abbott work hard by standing up for the rest of us. I applaud him for his defence of the common working man in Australlia. Here's to Abbott, one awsome chap!
-
@Dodger481 Actually, Dodger, given the ignorance inherent in your original comment, I can only assume you work for Tony Abbott-I mean no one with half a brain could think this silver spooner has *ever* supported the common man!
-
@Dodger481 BTW, Dodger, there are far, far more people rocking up to Occupy Movements around the world than ever turned up to that pathetic "Convoy of no consequence"-brought to you by Menzies House & the Koch Brothers. Whereas Abbott & his mates are doing their best to entrench the interests of the wealthy & powerful, the Occupy movement-many of whom are *not* unemployed-are actually fighting for a fairer world. What a delusional world you live in Dodger.
-
@Dodger481 Oh Dodger, you really have been sold a dud. Tony Abbott earns more than 6 times the Australian Median Income-& all his policies are just corporate welfare, welfare for the rich & policies aimed at keeping the poor in their place-yet still you blindly call him a "defender of the common man". Pathetic.
-
Tony is the 99%, the 1% are all the mongloids who are unemployed and boycotted wall street. That is why there we're so few of them.
-
@Dodger481 btw, Dodger, just because someone occasionally dons a fluoro vest or a hard-hat, doesn't suddenly make them a "defender of the common man". This guy is a tried & true Tory-defender of the 1%-& he doesn't care who he has to screw over to defend their interests.
-
@Dodger481 Yes, Dodger, & that would be why he remains a champion of Work Choices-the most regressive IR system Australia has *ever* had within the last 60 years. Pull the other one, Dodger, it plays Jingle Bells.
-
Tony Rocks, he is a defender of the common man!
-
I worked out why Tony Abbot just can't wrap his mind around the whole Global Warming concept...
It's that Global issue, that upsets him as much as the Warming thing; because how can there be any Warming on a Global scale - when Tony knows, very well, that the Earth which he lives on is Flat..?

He gives answers like Sarah Palin; just a whole lot of gibberish and conservative talking points. I'm actually not a liberal supporter but I would have voted for Malcolm Turnbull; I can't believe they got rid of him! And Tony Abbott is a conservative, a monarchist, a pro-life Catholic nutjob and a climate change skeptic! Fuck this two party system bullshit; we need more options!

Peak oil and global warming are the two most crucial issues of our time. Peak oil is the nominal point at which the extraction of petroleum begins to decline, which obviously impacts on pricing and distribution. But it also means that the supply will be insufficient to meet projected demand. Adequate levels of new energy sources must be found to fill the gap. Abbott's glib answer is both shocking and distressing, given the possibility that he may be PM by the end of the year.
