It is very tough for some to admit Abbott is standing strong behind the principle of his argument.
Clearly he is not in a position to literally go against the will of the electorate because his party is not in control of the upper or lower house.
Gillard however is in control and yet she will be running scared from the proposition of taking her tax to a vote.
The point he makes is that Gillard has no mandate for this tax and needs to seek it ... Abbott already has a mandate to oppose it based on the votes he received and those Gillard also received by deception.
This hypocrisy in attacking Abbott while praising Gillard is blind faith gone mad ... I see they have also followed Julia's lead and stopped calling out the wall kicking Rudd as potentially good recycled leader ... very good obedient followers indeed!
