Tony Abbott - an economic simpleton

[IQS.RLOW]

Monk is jealous that Abbott beat the ALP at their own game and has managed to do so without having a numpty like Swan yelling "you evil bankers are the debil"

You should be grateful that Abbott will be able to claw back a social benefit from the banks taking advantage of shit treasurer Swan and not passing on the full interest rate cuts under his tenure.

Told you Tone was a Hollow Man, and gutless to boot:

Abbott too ‘frightened’ to call no confidence in government

The Coalition is retreating from its vow to introduce a no-confidence motion in the Gillard government in this session of parliament, with one independent MP suggesting Tony Abbott was too ”frightened” to make such a move.

Meanwhile, NSW independent Rob Oakeshott says he will move a confidence motion in Treasury and Finance on Tuesday in a strike at what he views as the Coalition’s ”politicising” of Treasury forecasts.

Before Parliament broke in late March, the Coalition promised to put a motion of no confidence in the government into the parliamentary schedule for budget week in May, saying it expected the motion would be debated in budget week.

How pissfuckingweak!

It means he invalidates ALL his attacks on the govt! ALL of them!

By agreeing to the increase in the Medicare levy to help fund the NDIS Tone had already spiked his Great Big New Tax line of attack. Shit, just what the fuck will Tone have left by the time the election proper starts?

Coalition surrenders on private health insurance cuts

The federal Coalition has surrendered its long-held opposition to any assault on the 30 per cent private health insurance rebate and will allow Labor to slash the benefit by $700 million over the next four years.

Despite the protests of opposition health spokesman Peter Dutton, the shadow cabinet agreed on Monday to “not oppose’’ the measure which the government says is a structural saving needed to help fund the national disability insurance scheme.

A copy of Mr Dutton’s submission to the shadow cabinet, obtained by The Australian Financial Review, warns the cut to the Howard government shibboleth will increase the cost of health insurance and create more red tape.

When you have no ideas, no vision you are going to get tossed about like a cork in surf.

You'll just have to suck eggs for the next 12 years won't you.

Tone is doing himself untold damage, inevitable when you are a Hollow Man with neither ideas or integrity. This Mark Kenny, FFS:

And with crossbenchers not backing it in, Abbott’s telegraphed bravado has ensnared him instead.

It has him simultaneously claiming an absence of confidence in a government whose budget he is also proposing to support almost in its entirety.

On the other hand, he could choose the alternative course of not going ahead with the motion but that is hardly attractive either.

Indeed, it involves two things Abbott is loathe to embrace: breaking a promise, and worse, doing so in a way which, by virtue of that promise, amounts to an active vote of confidence in the government.

Liberal frontbenchers contacted yesterday either didn’t return calls or claimed not to know if the motion would proceed – even though it was a promise.

In reality, it is hard to see it going ahead and even harder to make a case for it doing Abbott any good.

As the election draws nearer and nearer. Don’t forget—he is going to wave through the Budget because he has no ideas, has not worked out other savings etc.

Tone’s Best Before date was 1/7/2012 and he should have been replaced then.

They’re starting to come apart at the seams. Hollow Men do that.

You must have missed the 28% primary and Conroys fingers in his backbenchers ears yelling lalalalalallalalala refusing to do polling in the labor marginals for to keep a lid on the revolt they know is coming like a freight train.
