How it is a disgrace? He redirected funds from the royal commission into child abuse by his church to a more political one, ALP's insulation scheme. If Rudd or Garrett phoned in on Skype for that you would be going off your teets. Don't forget that Tony has also provided a character reference for a convicted pedophile priest. Granted it was before he was convicted and before Tony made PM but just goes to show the company he keeps.

Don't know about the boats, we only have their word 

[Penelope]

The institutionilised sexual, physical and mental abuse of vulnerable children by those supposed to be protecting and caring for them in this country is nothing short of vile, but where is the outrage?

where are all the right wing redneck bigots like bolt and his mates as more and more is revealed about the scale of this putrid blight on our society becomes apparent.

but hang on, no political milage to be gained.

one woman a week is beaten to death by their husband/partner, where are the headlines whipping the masses into hysteria.

oops, no one group to blame, no fear to be spread so our "leaders can be seen to be strong without actually doing anything except encroaching on our rights so they can protect us.

gee im glad i live in a civilised society.

[WilliamPowell]

thats a disgrace Dwaino. That pell is as shifty as all stuff.

hasn't Abbott helped stopped the boats or is that a bad thing?

the boats is supposedly one thing they've got right Angus, not that we'd actually know for sure becasue the refuse to give out too much detail. Incompentant minister number 2 = Scott Morrision

And dwaino is correct about the re-direction of funds. To Tony and his govt it is far more important to nail the former govt for whatever they can rather than hold the Catholic church to account for their disgraceful deeds over decades

And as for budgets cuts, not even going to bother going through that again. As I said on the domestic front they are letting people down and breaking promises. The very thing so many people bagged the previous government for

The church often gets bagged but they are the tip of ice burg...

so what they broke a promise to introduce indexing to pensions.

they broke a promise to introduce the PPl scheme

They broke a promise not to reduce middle class welfare.

they broke a promise not to increase taxes but they applied a levy to those earning over 180k.

There were probably many more , but he had to make those cuts and lies, to fix up the mess of the previous government.

What cuts have actually gone through that your not happy with WP?

As you have said with both parties they all lie to gain a political advantage.

I've made it very clear which "cuts" I have issues with, not going to go through it all again

You were one person on here jumped who up and down when the former govt broke promises but now you are saying it's OK. You justify it by saying hey had to do it? Please. A broken promise is a broken promise it doesn't matter how you "sugar coat" it still remains a broken promise

If it's good enough to whack one side for broken promises, be consistent and whack the other = the current govt

[Francois Jackson]

fair call. Yes your right a broken promise is a broken promise however the ones that TA has made dont look all that bad in fact it reduces middle class welfare and increases taxes for high income earner.

That's a good promise to break IMO unlike our Julia's teams call of no carbon tax and our budge will be in surplus by 2015 rubbish.

[tony_montana]

agree Angus

Incompetant is the wrong word, I think you will find.

Morrison, Tony and the rest of the monkies have the necessary skill, to tell the citizens of Australia, how many women and cchildren are drowning. They choose not to

[Francois Jackson]

268 boats under labour

1 under the LNP.

of course people will look for some conspiracy without acknowledging what a fine job TA has done in this area.

[1965]

But at what cost?

[Francois Jackson]

Stop trying to deflect mate take it for what it is

A TA led government has done what no other government has done, including Howard and that is to reduce arrivals to virtually none.

If they didn't reduce the arrivals you would be the first to jump on here and bag the bloke.

[Penelope]

no, howard did the same, and he didnt hide the numbers.

pretty sure there has been more than 1 boat arrival under mr rabbit.

in the whole scheme of things, stopping the boats doesnt achieve much in terms standard of living in the country.

its really just a political side show

How do you know its one

If the powers to be have openly said they are not going to say the truth

its not a  conspiracy - tony and morrison have said this...  if anything you are the  conspiracy theorists on this one currently
