Comment: Respect Citizen Abbott but vote MP Abbott out auspol
What people outside Warringah do not understand is that within Warringah itself, Tony Abbott is not seen as the parliamentary wrecker depicted in the national press, but as something of a local hero.
Now, what is obvious about my beloved fellow citizens and electors of Warringah is that their majority default position is to vote Liberal. That’s a small price for an old Labor voter like me to pay for living among such agreeable folk in such an exquisite part of the world. But now it is clear that many are moving against the neo-conservative wing of the Liberal Party to which Abbott belongs.They will not be voting Labor, of course.
To begin with, his argument is that as generators of such a small proportion of the output that creates global warming, Australia needs to do little. Let the big guys begin. But in his hostility to the new industries and the lack of certainty created by his government in encouraging new industries, he locks us into a future where the Chinese, who are addressing their contribution to global warming, will also provide our future technologies.
