    Hi Alan, the issue of suicide or potential suicide was raised in the media and I hope it wasnt the case..

    The key problems for Abbott is his and Hockeys utterances on the subject of SPCs plight. Dr Stone called them out on this. Had they just stuck to their pitch that they cant bail businesses out it would not have been so bad. But they played politics with it making false claims about the issue as stated by Sharman Stone. The stress to all those involved during the period of uncertainty must have been huge and you must admit Abbott could have taken a different approach and even if money was not forthcoming could have been seen to be trying to help instead of using the issue to bash workers and their unions.

    Abbott didnt cough up any cash, but Napthine certainly did, a contradiction in terms. If Napthine and the workers and company had not come to an agreement who knows how much harm would have otherwise eventuated to the fruit growers and workers in the region.

    For a thread to claim the disgraceful actions and untruths as a win for abbott is obscene to say the least.

    cheers
