Paul Keating, who’s been pretty vocal of late, has called Tony Abbott a nutter. It’s a bit of a shame he’s not still in parliament. Join us here from 2pm to see if any of Question Time’s current participants can come close to Keating’s sledges.

      Pink batts, people smugglers, senate obstruction, denial of past negligence and a policy vacuum is the compound result of a 115 days Abbott’s so called leadership.
      I predict his polling has peaked and he will soon be left only with the redneck right.

      You wish. Abbott will kick your numpty Messiah’s arse preciouspress. Abbott is only addressing the issues that Rudd has completely screwed up. I’d list them for you, but I don’t have a few hours to spare. Now be a good sheep and go back to sleep.

      Broken promises, arrogance, self interest, lies, no achievements and delivery of nothing is the compound result of Rudds 1st term in office. I predict Rudds polling has peaked and he will soon be left on his own, without a party who wants him.

      Tony Abbott has done nothing more than point out the facts at how grossly incompetent the current Labor government are and who have lived up to their name at being really good at spending taxpayer money on absolutely nothing whatsoever.
      Rudd is losing popularity on his own, you don’t win an election, you loose it, and Rudd and his incompetent bunch are doing a great job at that.
      The mere fact that there are enough Labor pollies on this site posting away like “preciouspress” and “persephone” and now Keating stepping in to try and bad mouth Tony with nothing more than an absolutely low class personal attack shows that Tony is holding this bunch of incompetents accountable, something our media were supposed to do but instead were bought off with taxpayer monies $250 million was it, a ski trip plus a weekend away at one of those media moguls luxury mansions?

      It’s amazing how even “right” thinking people can be dragged along by their political party. Every fibre of their being, their “right wing extremist nut being’, knows that this paid parental leave is BS, but looking at them, there are just barracking for a politcal party. We need to start changing things in Australia for the better. Politics has descended into barracking for your favourite sports team, even though you might hate the players.. We need structural change, we need political change, we need lots of changes…
