Seeing as the Coalition are fans of Royal Commissions, they should launch a Royal Commission into the Australian Government Future Fund, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Macquarie Bank, and AMP.

No political milage in that boyo. I have been reading the Gareth Evan's diary and that gives a true account of a government where "the adults are in charge. No shortage of ego in that lot but they kept a reforming government going whilst maintaining political capital in the electorate.

Holy shit, just that suggestion alone could get you sent to Siberia.

In any case if they did that the Liberals would have nowhere to "retire" to.

Seriously though don't set a Royal Commission into anything that you don't want the answers to and don't already know them. The Wood Royal Commission almost got out of hand in NSW when questions started being raised about Politicians and Judges. It is also why Pollies do not like standing Commissions with an open scope, investigations have a nasty way of getting out of control like recent ICAC hearings. It is why IMO The Qld Government has moved to limit the CMC in that state.

Ah! I remember when Willessee embarrased Hawke and Keating with a computer read out as long as a toilet roll of broken promises.

4 days and not 5 with an aboriginal community. Abboot has been doing this for years. When has ALP been doing that or any other world leader. Obama a week with an American Indian perhaps? Putin with an Eskimo?

I am happy if he saves 25m by buying subs elsewhere.


Is this really role of the ABC?

I wouldn't be claiming Abbott's trip a great achievement. Very stage managed with little substance would more fit the bill. Both he and the Australian taxpayer could have gotten better value for the exercise.

Evasion.

Classic Runner-style.

Notice that he often attacks a post but almost never brings a subject to the table?

Yes.

TONY Abbott has urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to apologise and make appropriate restitution after telling him Australia had information the missile that shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was linked to his country.
