I think I like this guy a lot. Certainly more then our dear leader. Now if Australia restored the taken away gun rights it might be a decent place to live in again.


Sigh! How wonderful it would be to have a real leader….

From Top Right News (Australian Leader Abbott Slams Muslim Imams, Launches Crackdown on Radical Mosques, Muslims Furious) thanks to Fatherjon:

Australian Muslims were outraged on Tuesday after Prime Minister Tony Abbott hurled criticism at their leaders to “get with the program” to combat Islamic extremism, and launched a nationwide crackdown on radical Muslims and mosques.



It was a speech that many Americans wish their own leader might give.

In an address to the nation about security, Abbott slammed Islamic leaders and their attitudes toward extremism:

“I’ve often heard Western leaders describe Islam as a ‘religion of peace’,” the conservative leader said. “I wish more Muslim leaders would say that more often, and mean it.”

Abbott’s speech comes in the wake of a hostage siege by a Muslim radical Imam in a Sydney cafe that left three dead last December.

Abbott also announced a national security crackdown that would deny welfare payments to people seen as potential threats, strip the passports of those with dual nationality and curb travel overseas — a move designed to curb Australians from fighting with ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

[Actually on this bit—stopping them from leaving Australia—I wouldn’t stop them. In fact, I might offer a free ride out to the Syrian wilderness and revoke their passports. All aboard!—ed]

He linked welfare to terrorism

Abbott said new laws would remedy failings on the immigration, welfare, policing and intelligence fronts by clamping down on supporters of radicals, especially Muslim welfare recipients, and also target “hate preachers.”

He's not even going to last the remainder of his own term.
That's pretty well known here, hell even he knows he's got no hope.

He's basically destroyed our jobs market, and economy.

Trust me TRUE LIB, if you were HERE, then maybe you could talk...
 
If that is what the people of your country want so be it. I know next to nothing about Australia's politics except for researching your government run health care extensively a few years ago. But I love his words he had to say on this topic and overall his plans for it.

Stranger things have happened in Australian politics...I mean, y'all did elect Bob Hawke back in the 80's and Kevin Rudd a few years back, so anything can happen. *scratches head in thought* ....then again, didn't Australia who disappeared once and still hasn't been found after 4+ decades? :ohmy: :ohmy:

LOLLLL. You're saying simply electing Kevin Rudd and Bob Hawke was strange?
What's stranger was Tony Abbott getting in, and John Howard staying in.

And yes, we do have a prime minister who went missing while swimming. He's presumed drowned:
