Pollies are all hypocrites WP. But you have to admit Ju-liar is no Whitlam and the WORST labor leader ever. 

Did you put aside your red commie glasses and take time to look at the YouTube of your beloved PM? If you didn't here it is again. Classic.

If someone who votes labor is a commie, does that make someone who votes liberal a fascist or Nazi?
...or does this work like like the lying thing?

WP Howard ran an election on GST and people voted in favour and he won government.
Gillard ran on no-carbon tax and sold labor down the river to the greens to stay in power and everyone around this country will pay the price.
This carbon tax will increase cost of living in everyway. Petrol prices UP, Electricity prices UP, Food prices UP, Public transport UP etc.
This carbon tax will also move businesses off-shore which will result in people losing there jobs. People defaulting on mortgages. People missing meals due to having no money. If this is the future you want then by all means vote Labor(greens) at your own peril.

my red commie glasses  ???

Now that's funny 

As for the worst labour leader ever - and you did say labour leader as opposed to PM right? Then I'd say no not by quite a way ...that title would go to one Mark Latham by a long long way

If the PM is a liar

Then the Opposition leader is a Hypocrite

There's a some priceless news footage doing the rounds of Tony Abbott in 2009 actually saying that if you want to put a price on carbon emissions then he would introduce a "simple carbon tax", he adds that would include it being "placed on petrol" so "everyone" pays it equally 

OMG ..... Tony in 2009 sounded like Julia in 2011

I believe Tony said:

''If you want to put a price on carbon why not just do it with a simple tax? Why not ask motorists to pay more? Why not ask electricity consumers to pay more?'

He explains how to tax a price on carbon. I dont see anywhere in the quote him saying he believes in this policy.

Bang bang and bang

They are all a bunch if hypocrites The lot of em.

When he says "why not" he's not explaining how it works, he's asking why don't we do it this way rather than the Labor Party way.
Nope, he's a goose and a forgetful one

He also says ''If you want". I havent heard Tony say he wants to put a carbon tax on everything actually to the contrary he sounds like a person that wants to help business and jobs unlike Julia that will LIE to anyone and backstab everyone to stay in power.

Hmm would suggest you get a hold of the entire interview where he was asked just prior to becoming Lib leader how he would handle putting a price Carbon Emissions seeing he was so against the silly "emissions trading scheme" that KRudd wanted to introduce

His response; the quote in question was his answers as to what he would do, so I think at the time it is fair an reasonable to assume that it is the policy he believed in then .....

I am disappointed that Tony hasn't had a go at the PM for stealing his idea to be honest, Tony's been good at that in the past 

Ok WP I agree Latham was weird. What about WORST labor PM?

Well seeing she's been in the job less than 9 months I reckon it's too early to call but IMHO Paul Keating was a shocking PM. His born to rule mentality was a disgrace

yes you may be right there as my dad like yourself was a labor lover. He had a T-shirt of Whitlam. But after Keating he never voted labor again. But my personal opinion is that history will show the Rudd/Julia era to be the worst. Time will tell.
As of Tony. Unlike our current lying PM he can "honestly" admit when he's either changed his mind or made a mistake. His honesty is even to his detriment as in the case where he stated that when he says something it may be exagerated in the heat of the moment compared with considered written statements.   
As of polititians they are all hypocrites, as we all are. We are all sinners in the sight of God; Romans3:23.
