Re your post which included; "... You play the cards you're dealt . Look at what poor Abbott has had to face here . ..."
Are you referring to September 2013 wherein Tony Abbott took over our AAA rated $1.5Trillion economy with world-best macro-economic KPIs that HE tried to tell even those overseas was a basket case?
Well in case you misssed it, Australians already think Abbott lied his way into office; as reflected by the worst polls ever experienced by a first term government.
