Phillip_k, Seems like just spin in your post. Abbott is clearly being staged managed and not his real self yet the coalition trumpets can only see this in the Labor campaign. The rose coloured glasses are determing the content. Not to be taken seriously is the rider I would put to that content.
You have made up your negatives now I will give my version of the position: A new government in for only two and a half years.
Had to deal with the GFC. Avoided recession. Saved hundreds of thousands of jobs. Abolished reprehensible WorkChoices. Introduced fairer workplace laws. Low unemployment. Our economy the envy of the world. Improvements to education Improvements to health Improvements to Corporate law. Record increase to the single pension Lump sums to the needy pensioners, carers and veterans and families that helped stimulate our economy and save jobs. A national high speed broadband network is currently being rolled out.
This in just two and a half years.
There were some mistakes due to the urgency of the GFC but overall Australia is doing better than most advanced economies some of which are still basket cases. On climate change the Liberals agreed to a negotiated ETS and then reneged and blocked it in the Senate. Tony Abbott knifed Malcolm Turnbull to achieve the reneging.
