He told a business breakfast this morning that they can try the unemployed before they buy under the LNP's new Slavery Plan.

**I'm very sorry to repeat myself, and I'm very tired of doing it. But like Iraq before it, the mistakes being made here are obviously not a matter for social niceties. Frankly, I just want to free myself of the care factor and get on with other stuff. Watching this unfold shites me to tears no end, I can tell you.

Yes Tony "My reactionary 1960s foreign policy helped create ISIS in the vacuum left by my reckless Afghanistan and Iraq support, then I made coordination with Indonesia far more difficult than ever before, not to mention that I helped create a public relations dream for terrorist recruiting" Abbott, the risk is much worse.

Anyone who has understood the broader world-scale problem knows you have been central to making it much worse from your time under Howard until today. Thanks a lot, George W., you effing genius.

Folks, stop defending this dickhead's self-centred, brain-dead policies; clearly only regional economic transformation in the Middle East and abouts, based on the elimination of the oil economy and the dictators and loons and distorted economies it funds, can beat hatred that widespread and driven.

You can only ever break down the authoritarian power of ideology and dictatorships with proper economic development. We know this full well; we teach it in classrooms day after day at the best universities across the world; we have seen it happen in countries all across the world; so cut the BS, smash the global oil gangs, and move to green energy which is now exploding as a technology.

That's what serious leadership looks like, and it's the only thing that will deflate the broader mass of extremism, and instability creating extremism.

The best local security we all depend on also cannot hold if we don't deflate this massive, world-scale problem. Moreover, the cost of fighting the growing global terrorist destabilisation weakens the economy, making it even harder to spend adequately on local security.

And surely anyone who understands human psychology knows that hating on minority groups just breeds more hatred and creates new angry loons. Just how completely undisciplined and irresponsible is this moron?

Outdated twits like Abbott plainly do not understand the global reality of 2015. The US is dealing with its own decline and outdated fools, so it cannot be relied upon to make sane decisions to both deal with this problem, and then help China succeed and blend into a balanced world system peacefully.

Let's find leaders who understand this ASAP—and by all indications that excludes that empty cardboard cutout, Shorten.

^%$^ing hell it's frustrating watching complete idiots like Abbott and his dumb friends making everyone's life worse and much less safe

[Deep breaths. Deep breaths. Let it go.]

With the Media having a field day with Terrorism the LNP will call an early election and will be returned into office. Talk about the gift that keeps on gifting.

I doubt they'd do that, Culprit, not while they're still behind (or, at best, equal) in the polls. Why go for an early election when they can spend another 15 months returning to the well of terrorism panic and get another Santa Claus budget through, all the while capitalising on voters' (very) short memories?

I know some Labor people would be breathing a sigh of relief that Abbott's seemingly sticking around for the next election, because it means that they have at worst a fighting chance. But I can't help but feel that a successful leadership spill would have been the death blow for extreme-right politics here and marked an opportunity for the Liberal Party and our country's politics to move into the 21st century.

As it stands, there's a very real prospect that Abbott could be back in to hold up development and social progress for another three years. The only silver lining to that particular black cloud of doom is that Labor might have a moment of clarity and have some kind of Whitlamesque renaissance in time for 2019. But I wouldn't exactly be putting my house on that.

[Culprit]

As the polls continue to favour the LNP and are increasing in their favour they will call one later this year. The Media are running a fear campaign and Abbott know's that fear wins votes. This is why the LNP are spruiking policies that legally won't stand up, but they will get the votes.
