The response from educators,including the Chancellor of Sydney University was unprecedented.

They talk up health,education and infastructure,but when you look at what they actually did you see a decade of cutbacks.A boom period was wasted by pork barrelling at elections and silly giveaways and always political sweateners or some idelogical ferfies (offshore processing)

Tony Abbott needs to unlearn all tought to him by John Howard.Being a leader is more than being a great politician.John Howard may have been a good politician,he was however a dreadful leader and the liberal party need to change.
