Seriously, Tony Abbott as leader? Do they really want to go back to 2007?
Not only do I now have to put up with the awful spectre of Tony Abbott as a possible future prime minister, but now there's all the tedium of the reflexive anti-Catholicism, because nothing cements your position as a small-l-liberal like assuming that a whole lot of people march in lockstep with one crackpot.
Also, I would like to call an end to the "mad monk" nickname. For one thing, it makes Abbott sound like a Doctor Who villain. Also it's unfair to the mentally ill. And to monks. And to Doctor Who villains.
The Kiwis at work assure me that New Zealand politics is approximately 1000000% more awesome than in Australia. I should move across the Tasman, y/y?
