Tony Abbott receives award for 10 years of actual fire-fighting, page-54

What's next for Tony? An award for services to Australian Life Saving? Followed by an award for assistance to various Indigenous groups? Followed by various awards for personal exertion on behalf of numerous charities?

Will this never stop? A Prime Minister receiving such amazing awards for services to the overall community? Disgraceful!

I expect the Labor Party will be up in arms. It's just not the done thing ! The normal MO of a Labor or Greens politician is an introspective, "what's in it for me" attitude, ala little Bobby Hawke. Never any contribution to society, just constant carping about Tony Abbott, Abbott, Abbott. Never any personal effort on behalf of their fellow Australians.

It seems that the pathological hatred of the left, including the ALPBC and other lesser "journalistic" news reporters (self opinionated muck rakers) for our PM has over reached, and in fact is backfiring as indicated by the improving polls for the PM.

This turnabout, as far as polls go, is most likely in response to a more assertive PM and the public's tiring of the constant hatred against our PM which is against the Australian way of a "fair go". Something the PM has not had from the press gallery since his smashing victory.

The most gratifying award yet to be received by Tony Abbott will be another term in office after another resounding defeat of a now defunct Labor Party, with the loopy Greens trailing along behind.
