Great start to the year. So much for the "reboot" and "barnacles". The Liberal party has no ideas, and no serious policies that have been carefully considered and consulted on.
All they have is just a bunch of thought bubbles given the number of humiliating backdowns.
I wonder how many days there are until the next thought bubble, and how long it will take to back away from that too.
The backbench revolt that forced Tony Abbott to back down over $20 GP fee
"Tony Abbott faced a backbench revolt on his plan to slash the Medicare rebate for short doctors' visits with former cabinet minister Mal Brough prepared to go public and denounce the idea, prompting the Prime Minister's backdown.
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman, who is in the middle of an election campaign, also wanted the issue killed, fearing a repeat of the Victorian election where federal issues dragged down the vote and the state Coalition government was dumped after one term.
Former AMA president and Liberal candidate Bill Glasson intervened and in a phone call with the Prime Minister urged him to dump the cuts, which were due to take effect from Monday."
