Politics should not be a personality contest, but unfortunately for a lot of people this is the case. They don’t really understand the policy debates, or are just not interested.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott made his election announcement speech in Brisbane this past Saturday. Tony Abbott’s speech was less than enthusiastic and he seemed as if he was thrown by the calling of the election even though it was announced (albeit not confirmed) the day before. At one point he said:
This election isn’t about glib slogans. It is not about glib slogans. It’s about competent government that works for every day Australians and that only the coalition stands ready to deliver.
While this phrase seems good on paper, Tony Abbott couldn't sell it. It is as though he doesn’t believe it or was given his speech a few minutes before going out to speak. He had to read the most important parts of this section.
Tony Abbott is not the polished performer that his opposite number, Julia Gillard, is. Tony Abbott therefore needs to pick up his game because for some this is an important aspect in their politicians.
Now,back to the policy!
