Abbott was a talented amateur boxer. Photographs reveal he didn't always wear protection. A brain injury could explain his bizarre behaviour. Turning a silent, manic stare on a TV journalist who asked an awkward question, trying to sprint out of Parliament during a sitting, admitting you can't believe anything he says unless it's written.....these are not normal behaviour, even for a politician. Should he be required to have a brain scan?
I don't know whether he has a brain injury, but he is certainly not the brightest. A shame, when you consider, that in case he is elected in September, he represents our nation. When do people get the leaders they want? Turnbull - Rudd, eg.....................??????

Good idea. Otherwise kitty might go tinkles in the sandpit which would be bad form. Do you have any opinion on this topic, or is this to be your sole contribution?
Horrible feeling it would look like this But the damage you get from repeated head punches does not show up on a normal CT. An MRI or a PET scan would be more accurate
Yeah, but the topic is important. This cove looks certain to be the next PM of Australia and there is evidence he may have rocks in his head.
And we have another example of the typical laborite tactic of playing gutter level personality politics. Tony Abbott, much to his credit, as never stooped to such lows. As for representing our nation, he is probably not the statesman that John Howard was but he will do a bloody sight better job than either Kruddy or Juliar have done.
However having just gone through and still going through Newmans hack and slash tactics I for one do NOT want Abbott in charge
Outside of the healthcare cuts Bower, which is obviously very close to you, a majority of these cuts had to happen. Just in the state government building in Brisbane three people were employed to shred documents. $25 per hour to shred paper. We had three rural fire brigade co ordinators to do one job. One had been on stress leave for over 12 months and has never been sighted, one lived here locally and rightfully remains, and the other refused to live here and lived in Townsville and was only on standby for the other bloke. Wtf. The media tried to start a hatchet job, but this has fallen away fairly quickly. I have a uni friend that is a journo in Brisbane and he said although some cuts were unwarranted the more they dug to hang the government the more they uncovered the extreme waste of the previous administration. It become very hard to make the story look unbiased. The fact is Queensland is broke, and there are only two ways of raising revenue to pay debt. Raise taxes, or cut cut expenses. Newman and his mob of fools never gave us the debt, they are the poor silly ba$***** that have to try and pay it off. Abbott will be in the same situation. What I am trying to say is that we need to look at the whole picture not just a small excerpt. I believe that you wouldn't of voted liberal regardless.
Shredding jobs is easy, but what's next? The people, who were employed by the government/council to shred the paper, are now without a job, and paid again by the government through centerlink. hmmm.................... Adultmale, it looks you like the right side of things, but tell me, except for getting rid of Australia's dept, what else was it John Howard did well? To me he was a catastrophe in many ways, but hey, that's just my opinion.... To all of you, enjoy your Sunday....
We have been thankfully spared a little out here but I know of many nurses who have suddenly found themselves without jobs while bureaucrats still "fat cat" it. You have NO argument from me about waste of the previous government one of my favourites was when they were running around handing out "certificates of service" for Q health employees and sending out gift baskets of coffee when we still were direfully short of required equipment to do the job. Job satisfaction does NOT come from premium coffee - it comes from having the tools to do the job properly
I have some inside information on that and the fault goes right up to the top It was an idiots idea to introduce a new payroll system without piloting it
He is getting away with saying whatever he likes and is never scrutinised. It'll be a tragedy for this guy to be voted in based on blatant lies. I tend to support the belief that labor has problems selling their achievements but certainly not helped unsurprisingly by mainstream media! Yep, we are going to have a half wit as PM!
Guilt by association bowerbird? I thought you were smarter than that. What Newman has done has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on what Abbott may or may not do.
Personality politics = gutter politics Labor relies heavily on discrediting opponents on a personal level. It really says something about their supporters that they fall for this low tactic.
