I agree RM - I've voted Labor in the past too (Not Rudd though I'm happy to say).
Out of quality - yep - I'm happy to say I'm a member of the Liberal party now. Abbott is not my first choice of leader (and I've agreed in the past on this forum that he was unelectable after the 730 report interview). However, with Rudd and now Julia there is no comparison. Abbott wins hands down in terms of responsibility.
Julia's actions before suddenly calling election: E Timor pseudo solution vs. Nauru MRRT pseudo solution vs. just don't bother atm 150 people climate pseudo soln vs. green army
If any of these were any good - she could have given at least 3 more months to settle these before an election
