Who is more boring Abbott or Shorten ? I think Shorten wins this as Abbott can be fairly entertaining with some of his wacky moments.

as ive stated on here before both our party leaders at the time of the election were spuds, but i felt rudd was a far better option then the other. i don't have a favorite party and i vote on the side who has the better options. for me and my family!

I personally believe Abbott is an embarrassment to this country and a dead set spud!!! Australia's very own George W Bush! his views on life are so outdated. and if i hear him say 'stop the boats' one more time i will punch him in the throat

I haven't been following politics much lately but caught the arse-end of The Drum last night and Laurie Oakes was the special guest (launching a new book) and he tore strips off of Scott Morrison for his arrogance and information hiding at his weekly 'stop the boats' press conferences, Oakes said he's basically giving the journos and thus the public the finger and that it's disgusting.

He also said Abbott's approach of hiding himself & Ministers by sending out backbenchers all the time was poor form.

Oakes is part of the problem, gave them a free run up to the election and is now having a whinge.

I missed this at the time, pretty embarrassing stuff from Abbott:

Tony Abbott's use of a Washington Post interview to brand his Labor predecessors as ''wacko'' and ''embarrassing'' could set back his working relationship with the Obama adminstration, a leading US commentator says.

Norman Ornstein, an author and political scientist with the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute, said he ''winced'' when he read the interview in which Mr Abbott put the boot into the Rudd-Gillard government in unusually strong language for a foreign interview.

''It really does violate a basic principle of diplomacy to drag in your domestic politics when you go abroad,'' Dr Ornstein said. ''It certainly can't help in building a bond of any sort with President Obama to rip into a party, government and - at least implicitly - leader, with whom Obama has worked so closely.

''Perhaps you can chalk it up to a rookie mistake. But it is a pretty big one.''

Politicians around the world typically refrain from engaging in fierce domestic political argument when they are speaking to an overseas audience.

Tony don't look down the camera lens and tell me "YOU VOTED FOR ME AND I WILL DELIVER"
Get this clear I did not vote for you or anything you stand for!
