At our Caucus Meeting on Tuesday Bill made it clear Labor was gearing up for a fight and getting ready for an election. It doesn't matter who's in the top job, Liberal MPs share the same values; they support $100,000 degrees, a tax on going to the doctor and cuts to pensions. Join The Fight to make this Liberal National Government a one term government.
BEST:
1. "Is Tony Abbott the worst Prime Minister Australia has ever seen?"
2. Penny Wong: Enough said.
3. How has Tony Abbott changed?
4. Small Business Minister, Bruce Bilson, attacked Labor pointing to us and saying: “While they were changing leaders and changing ministers.”
