Quick Hit: About Bloody Time
Watch as our Prime Minister lays it all out about who the Opposition Leader is.
Surprise, surprise – Lindsay Foyle reports threats from Tony Abbott too
This late-1970s attempt at intimidation was witnessed by a bunch of other journalists working for The Bulletin at the time. Yeah, the idea that Abbott could have punched the wall beside a woman’s head to intimidate her as his political rival just seems soooo unlikely, amirite?
Political Meme of the week: Abbott “explains” things – they just are
ABBOTT: ‘blah blah Gillard govt schoolkid bonus bad blah blah’
REPORTER: ‘How is this different from the Howard govt baby bonus?’
ABBOTT: ‘Well look, they just are.’
BFTP: Obligatory Tony Abbott Said What Now? Thread
It’s a Summer Slowdown repost. Just reminding everybody, in the midst of all the ink being wasted over a Rudd challenge that simply will not happen, that Tony Abbott still regularly reveals a mind-boggling worldview via ill-judged attempts to be charming and/or witty.
ObBloodOath post: entering Buffoon Central

Quick Hit- Will anything change?
A new, unflattering, book about Tony Abbott, to hit the shops 1 October 2011.

Isn’t the Abbott plebiscite just a pointless and expensive stunt?
Aaaaand this is why I love Kudelka.
Abbott’s “reform” of welfare system
Is he trying to get his picture into the illustrated dictionary next to the word ‘draconian’?
Abbott-Watch: macho moments more important than basic consideration
Paraphrasing a comment I just made at LP: The “shit happens” comment is revealing despite being a media “gotcha” beatup, and what it reveals isn’t pretty.
Abbott Watch: Scumbaggery alert
Sure, that’s the most important thing right now, Tony. Remind everybody about the terrible no good horrible very very bad NBN.
Ghoul.
Politics on Youtube
This is a whole new side to political advertising. Are these sort of leader parodies available to the Liberals, Greens, and other parties or would the backlash be too great? Discuss.
