This guy. Fuck. Seriously.

Abbott's tenure is now well beyond a joke. I thought things were bad towards the end of last year, when his party restricted the wearing of burqas in Parliament House and passed new anti-terrorism laws reminiscent of America's PATRIOT Act. He repealed the carbon tax and consistently avoids directly answering questions from Labor and Greens representatives about environmental issues in Parliament. On a more entertaining note, he and his party have made various embarrassing blunders over the past few years.

But this is just inexcusable. Not taking torture allegations from the UN seriously is not something anyone I know wants this country to be associated with. I suppose the silver lining here is that this will only serve to drive the Coalition's popularity down further before the next election.

No one cares because this country is filled with racist morons. Too many people have swallowed the rhetoric of both parties on asylum seekers, that is that they're dirty poor people that don't deserve to be here.

It's not really any worse than America. You had your fill of Bush a few years back; now we have our equivalent.

At least America knew well enough to murder all of its deadly wildlife.

I wouldn't say we're in quite as bad a position, e.g the US spent insane amounts of money on largely pointless wars under Bush. Fortunately, we aren't in the world police role, so we don't get the choice to do such wasteful things.

Tony Abbott is far worse than either Bush was.

It's good to be reminded that 'Murica isn't the only developed country run almost exclusively by dickish idiots.

I think watching Abbott make an ass out of hiself on youtube is just making my IQ drop.

i don't get it. that just sounds like a generic political address.

Hot off the heels of telling aboriginal communities that their problems in rural communities are a 'lifestyle choice', he comes in praising the Irish heritage in Australia. Australia hasn't been a predominantly 'white' country since after WWII, at which point our hilariously racist 'white Australia' policy was dismantled and people of various creeds were able to legally move here, effectively making modern Australia the multicultural nation that it is.

There was also the cute "only time of the year it's good to be Green" line at the start. It's what he does best, he makes digs at other political players at completely irrelevant times. At various economic summits, he never misses the chance to shit on Labor.

Finally, he has the charisma of a tac. Dem hand movements.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has told reporters not to fear police accessing their metadata to identify their sources saying he never worried about his own metadata being accessed when he was a journalist, at a time that pre-dated widespread internet and mobile phone use.

God damn it.

[mister bickles]

Australia is run by satanic jew criminal cabals.......like most other so-called 'Western' nations.....

who-ever is elected or not elected to govern is, mostly, immaterial.....

these people have no real power....

Aussies were dis-armed 20-odd yrs ago by a vicious and cruel hoax ("the Port Arthur massacre")

it prblby won't be long before they 'go under'....whether by foreign invasion, socio-economic collapse and/or tyrannical governments.....
