Do conservatives breathe different air?
Yesterday had a fascinating study in the parallel universe known as conservatism in Australia!
There’s Tony Abbott at the National Press Club in Canberra, demonstrating to the nation why he needs to be replaced, oops, sorry, I meant making a major speech about where to from here for the Government. This was said by many on both sides of politics to be his make or break speech. It didn’t work for him, because today there is still ongoing drama about his possible removal. But folks, he says, let’s move on, forget that stuff, it’s just Canberra talk and I’ve got a country to run! (Are you listening to your leader Julie, Malcolm?)
The only reason that TA may not be replaced is that after 3 years of poisonous drivel from the Coalition (when in opposition) about assassinations, knifings, dumpings etc, they may be scared to be tarred with their own brush.
One fine example about a parallel universe, from the answer to a question put to our magnanimous leader, about the recent defeat of the conservatives in Victoria, was that those who had voted Labor had had “a moment of absent-mindedness”! Stupidity and arrogance aren’t humour Mr Abbott.
Yesterday also had Kate Carnell, current CEO of ACCI and former conservative Chief Minister of the ACT, on ABC radio. Ms Carnell was asked about the massive backlash against the conservatives in Queensland and she said that Australia must have radical structural reforms such as those of the Newman Government. ACCI, she said, ‘got that’. She then said that the Labor voters in Queensland did not get it! More stupidity and arrogance!
They should take a leaf from Mr Moderate (aka Joe Hockey) who was on 7’s Sunrise this morning and who was backpedalling furiously being Mr Nice and Mr Conciliatory. Didn’t believe a word about all that ‘we are listening’ stuff Joe, but at least you are not arrogant!
