Politicians don’t like being unemployed anymore than anyone else.

Civil Service tends to vote for conservatives, but no one votes for the party that made them redundant. Those 3000 lost jobs are probably going to result in 6000+ votes against Abbott and the Liberals when you add in friends and family.

‘Austerity today, austerity tomorrow, austerity forever!’ is not a platform to win an election. OTOH, ‘Are you better off today, than when Tony Abbott became Prime Minister?’ has a nice ring to it.

He’s nothing more than a narcissistic sociopathic wannabe religious fundi nutter. Even his ministers are finally realizing this. 😉 😀

I do love things he has done, such as sack over 3,000 ATO (Tax Office) employees, and it seems that people have realised that the ATO doesn’t have the staff to pursue any tax fraud, or even process returns & claims, so people are “making hay whilst the sun shines”. A recent audit shows the for the past quarter, tax revenues have been dropping and it’s estimated that by the end of the year, lost revenue will far outstrip any payroll savings. The hilarious part is that anyone who actually wants to do the honest thing, can’t! Even corp’s are complaining about the growing delays and confusion, which were already bad enough. This is one of many insane ideas the moron-in-charge ™ has had. 🙂 I expect Aus. to be bankrupt by the years end. 🙂

But, I’ll take my laughs where I can get them. LOL
