Abbott absolutely brilliant last night.

Established Protocol is:-

Incumbent Treasurer brings down his Budget - Speech

Two night later, Opposition Leader gives reply speech.


This tradition wasn't good enough for Labor. Spitefulness being their current strongpoint in the face of looming oblivion.

They had to trundle out a hastily set up "Press Conference"
held by one Ms Penny Wong, that "never comes up for air" head kicking prattler.

In decades of politics, such an event never happened. But she spent ten minutes insulting Tony Abbott's abilities.
He cannot give policies 2 and a half years out. Not should he - not knowing what he'll inherit in the way of financial mess.

And the good old ABC24 News had constant flash banners
advising us she'd called a Press Conference. More important to them than Abbott's speech no doubt.

IF Labor wanted to beat up Tony Abbott on Budget reply speech night, contrary to long standingprotolcol, at least Gillard or Swan should have fronted up.

Seems Wong is now being wheeled out everywhere to do their dirty work.
