"It is very heartening to know that most Australians can see Abbott for what he is."
---------------------- That would be next PM of Australia, according to every poll.
------------------------
"Gillard is an extremely vilified individual, but that really helps to highlight the sort of person Abbott is. Here he is, constantly fueling the "liar" fire, even though he knows Australians realise that "I'll do anything" himself, would've done exactly the same thing."
------------------------ Rubbish. People call Gillard a liar for very good reason. She is one - consistently. Nothing Abbott says can influence that one way or the other. The kind of person he is, is constantly on show - charity worker, volunteer lifesaver and firie, loving husband and wife. No secrets there.
-------------------------
"Basically he treats the electorate like fools, whilst his hypocrisy is simply laughable. The bottom line with Abbott imho, is that he has no respect for people."
-------------------------- This comment is deluded, it doesn't warrant a response.
------------------------- "Rudd will defeat him if given the chance by the Labor Party.."
--------------------------- We didn't get a chance to clobber him in 2010 you mean. Same will happen in the highly improbable event he does a Lazarus.
-------------------------
"Voters will happily welcome Rudd back, particularly if his opponent is Abbott, who people are sick to death of."
------------------------ That's from a parallel universe. Labor is the problem; the captain makes little difference. We're actually looking forward to Australia's most effective ever Opposition Leader becoming a highly effective PM. Can't wait.
