labor needs to ignore abbotts distractions

One really has to wonder about the advice that Labor is getting in its means of dealing with an obstructive and destructive force like Abbott. Labor really does appear to have very ordinary people in its politicking strategy department. Labor really doesn't respond very well to the ongoing Coalition spin. Andrew Robb is a master of spin, and Labor doesn't appear to have his match.

Labor really needs to refuse to be drawn into the muck with Abbott. He simply loves it in there. That's his sanctuary. Thrives on it.

Keep the battles on the higher ground where he can't win. Talk about policy etc. Abbott doesn't have a clue in the world about policy. That's why he strives to keep the conversation about anything negative. As my wonderful father always said, "Don't wrestle with pigs in the mud. You both get dirty and only the pig enjoys it."

Labor needs to ignore Abbott's problem with women. The women of Australia will decide that one. There's no point in trying to highlight it. They know what he's like. Women pick up on that very easily. No point in Labor reminding them.

In the next 12 months, Abbott is going to face the real acid test, and he simply won't pass. He isn't equipped to pass. Labor should just be scoffing at, and ignoring his silly nonsense and watch him self destruct.

Malcolm is sitting calmly waiting for the right time to make his move.
