heystasaI don't like to talk about politics much, but I will say that I hate Tony Abbott.
How in heaven's name that blithering, narrow minded, self-righteous, self-absorbed, out-dated, vaguely delusional, rude, snippy, slimy, smug, little twit continues to get elected is beyond me. The opposition in his electorate must be dismal.
At least he's no longer Health Minister. The amount of things wrong with having someone concerned more with imposing his own personal and "moral" views and being a good Christian than he is with making informed decisions on the basis of science and the good physical and mental health of the population in an important, science-based position is obscene.
The stem-cell debate was no place for religion. Also, it's called feminism, Tony. And it exists to keep people like you away from concepts like abortion. Now he's got Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs. Thank goodness he's only Shadow Minister. Imagine the damage he could do other wise.
Honestly though, he wouldn't infuriate me half so much if he didn't coat everything he does or says with a stupid smug grin and a pompous attitude, and didn't try to disguise the fact that ultimately he just thinks he knows best with a masquerade that he's accurately speaking for some silent majority.
Julia Gillad summed his work as a minister up best in 2006, I think: "For God's sake Tony, it's not about you!"
