To your average punter, all of the above are complete non-issues. Only the rusted ons and those susceptible to focus group thinking strategies give a toss about any of it. What matters is the Liberal party being able to walk the talk, for the first time they are in power in what could be a genuine recession. The economy is spluttering to put it mildly and has the potential to fail under the weight of astronomical debt, the rubber is meeting the road for the first time for the Libs. If it turns out they can only talk the talk then you could run George Calombaris against them and win.
