Tony Abbott has tonight shown himself to be an empty vessel making noises.
His speech consists mainly of broad statements of intent, the so-called cuts he mentioned would not be big enough to bring the budget into surplus within 3 years. He said Joe Hockey would announce more next week, can we assume they are now making policies on the run?
Almost every opposition parties that I can recall promise cuts to public servants numbers, but once in government they found out they needed more public servants, not less.
