Oh Eagle - that's a bit funny coming from someone who seems far more proficient in political spin that me...lol
I've posted before that I'm not a member of a political party, don't get paid by any and simply post my own observations.
You have no idea who I am and it seems pretty over the top to post such accusations of "unadulterated political spin" when I am posting from experience with my own teenagers and agree with Abbott that plain packaging is unlikely to make much difference to useage. Time will tell.
I agree with Abbott on this issue, but that doesn't mean I agree with everything. I just think he offers a better alternative to Gillard who seems to have very little to offer except deceptions and taxes - and I have as much right to that opinion as you have to the yours.
