The frequent assertion that if Abbott (or Newman, for that matter) would only communicate better, and market better, then all would be well, is offensive on so many levels.<br />"Plutocracy Parade" - brilliant :)<br />MishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462488453822156883.post-19368117484544509692015-02-01T13:15:55.230+11:002015-02-01T13:15:55.230+11:00Pity Tony Abbott didn't take notice of electro...Pity Tony Abbott didn't take notice of electronic graffiti.

He thought it would be business as usual because he lacks the imagination to deal with changed circumstances.<br />In my opinion neo-liberalism has brought us to a fork in the road. If we turn right we will be juddering down Plutocracy Parade in our cheap imported jalopies.<br />Honestly what has got into that right wing mob that they think that we should cheer on the dismantling of Fair Go Australia.<br />Whoever leads that party will not give us anything different.
