Did anyone think he escaped? Seemed obvious.

It's interesting the majority of the media completely ignore abbots achievements tax repeals, stopped boats, managed tense Indonesia relationship after labors fk up, free trade agreements and so forth.. All things they pledged to do

There was talk of him staying on.

Tax repeals: I'm guessing you are referring to the carbon tax. We had a system that penalized carbon emissions, and then scrapped it just as the rest of the civilized world is moving towards similar taxes and looking at us like some sort of giant oversized Alabama... because apparently coal is the way of the future.

Meanwhile electricity bills didn't reduce and the tax to GDP ratio is the second highest the country has ever seen.

Stopped the boats: Well this hasn't actually happened, we just spend the same amount of cash turning them around and keeping the media in the dark about operations while paying a prison company to run offshore detention centres.

Relations with Indonesia haven't been repaired at all. They hate us. Despite this being a labor issue Abbott still pissed them off pretty heavily over the Bali 9 thing and they have just gutted our beef expert market by 75% for no reason other than to f**k with us.

Free trade agreements are not exactly universally popular and have some fairly worrying elements to them, not least of which is the ability for external governments / companies to sue australia if we pass laws that decrease their profits.

No idea at all why everyone isn't sucking his dick...

That was the Abbott promise. Was meant to be $550 p/a

Personally I copped a $100 reduction and a $90 charge for implementing it.... not that the government can be blamed for the implementation charge but I mentioned it as it's pretty funny

Fortunately there are people smarter than politicians behind regulation of prices and fees.

I stand corrected, the AER doesn't regulate price in Victoria. It's the consumers responsibility to use an AER website to compare prices and make a decision. Probably explains why retailers in Victoria are so f**king pushy and difficult to shake
