He is very respected and politically a centrist with a genuine liberal record, a former banker and successful business who Australia now needs in her economic downturn.<br /><br />Abbot is nothing more than a right winger who had capitalised successfully and profited from a right wing backlash in Australia to left wing excesses by some cabinet members of the former Labor government, Abbot has also exploited the fears of most Australians against boat refugees and Islamic militants. He has also been accused of attempting to further exploit the jingoism of a "khaki elections" (heard of this term before?) by sending the RAAF strike fighters to join teh Yanks in teh Middle East/<br /><br />Frankly, Abbot was lost amidst the economic problems Australia is currently facing. That's why he has been sent to the backbench so Turnbull can be PM to set good economic policies to invigorate Australia's fortune.KTemochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951253039042572381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-43727351894516819482015-09-16T08:05:22.682+08:002015-09-16T08:05:22.682+08:00My take is that the word democracy has been draine...My take is that the word democracy has been drained of its meaning by overuse and ubiquity. In this Oz scenario – I am quite stirred to see internal democracy being jumbled-sale as a strategy of creating or grabbing power rather than the art of checking and balancing of power. It appears to me that all Malcolm Turnbull needs is a coterie/political gang/drinking associates.
