Read some rumours in The Saturday Paper about Truss stepping down this year, so the Nats might have their own little leadership fight given Barnaby isn't universally loved.

PRIME Minister Tony Abbott would lead the Liberal Party to a historic defeat that would deliver a primary vote of just 36 per cent and terminate the careers of more than 40 Coalition MPs if an election was held today.

John Howard and his team were outstanding as is Tony Abbott and his team which will be more clearly shown as time goes on. However I suggest that Tony Abbott get aggressive and stop letting the Lefties run all over him. The Lefties regard a very capable gentleman like Tony Abbott as weak. The Lefties appear to be trained to be nasty, do not understand anything else and will not change


Even before most media campaigned hard for obviously unsuited Kevin Rudd and helped get us into Labor’s huge debt and mess - costing $1billion per month in interest - the 95% of the media - especially the ABC and Canberra Press Gallery and Fairfax - who work hard to help the Labor/Left take us further down the Labor road to being another Greece -are a very serious problem for Australians who want a good sustainable future.Especially as this media does its best also to stop Tony Abbott getting his message out &/or distorts it.

Most media work hard at doing their best to put ALL the blame on Tony Abbott and his team while still creating irresponsible furores over trivialities over the Knighthood for the Duke of Edinburgh, Tony Abbott winking back at Jon Faine, Joe Hockey smoking a cigar etc. While saying little or nothing about Labor’s huge debt and mess and Shorten’s sabotaging Tony Abbott & Coalition efforts to get Australia back on track.

Unfortunately like many others, there are only a rare few journalists/columnists that I rely on.

This latest unbalanced media and Lefty attack on Tony Abbott over the triviality of the Knight-hood Award has alerted even more people to how very bad the ABC and most media are and I expect it will cost the media dearly, even more than in the past. e.g. Lefty Fairfax has concentrated on supporting the Left - half the market - and denigrating the Coalition which is half the market. Fairfax is in steep decline.

I also comment that when the Labor/Left talk about conservative journalists/columnists they can only name a rare few but all the rest - at least 95% - are Labor/Left - who will not admit they are Left - instead determined to either not let the Coalition message get out at all or report a damaging & distorted version of it. e.g.:- The ABC is getting its $1.2billion in tax-payers funding per year under false pretences as it cannot be relied on and has not had a conservative presenter,host or interviewer in a prominent position for at least 25 years.
