Last week Tony Abbott wanted to scrape a few barnacles off the ship of state. This week he wanted to try and turn the whole ship around - things didn’t quite go as planned.
BEST:
1. Pretty much sums up the year.
2. They tried and they failed.
3. Labor will never accept the false premise that Governments can choose either growth or fairness.

4. It’s only 90 seconds to watch...
...but will be felt by the Government for a very long time.
5. More than 6,000 people have already texted him.
WORST:
1. On Monday Tony Abbott tried to hit refresh by holding a 45-minute press conference. So what’s he changing? Nothing.
2. Tony Abbott made an appeal to Labor Premier Daniel Andrews - what was the appeal? For Premier Andrews to break an election promise.
3. Tony Abbott’s year of broken promises. There's a book, and there's a lot of them.
4. The cuts to Australia’s foreign aid budget continue, with Julie Bishop claiming ‘if the Government keeps cutting, it won’t be the Government’s fault’.
Say 'No More Cuts'.
5. When Tanya Plibersek referred to 97% of scientists agreeing on the connection between human activity and climate change, Liberal Member for Gilmore Ann Sudmalis interjected “but that’s only climate scientists”.
This week's #5and5 song is in honour of Tony Abbott who describes the disastrous year of broken promises as a year of achievement.

I wish you all the very best for Christmas and a happy and safe new year.
