What on earth is ==" supposed to signify?

He didn't, actually. He (and Costello) repeatedly credited Keating's policies for putting the Liberals in the position where they could unfuck the economy, as it was. Learn moar history

I don't agree with the baby bonus/payments for such. You can support a leader without agreeing with every single policy, you know. And is that the only example you have?

I will hear no bad word said of Bronny Bishop, she is amazing. There is a shell in her office in Canberra that she fired.

I think he's dangerously misguided regarding his Keynesian economics. And I've said he's a boring, smarmy, smug bastard. But I have not said he is an idiot. EDIT: At least I don't think I have. If I have, it was in terms of actions, not intelligence. Idiocy does not necessarily imply stupidity.

Where did I belittle the respective intelligences of Wayne Swan and Craig Emerson?

Conservatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think you're conflating right-wing with conservatism. Generally speaking, all conservatives are right-wing but not all right-wingers are conservative, which is especially true in the Liberal Party.

I was referring to the fact that they regard the "Liberal" Party as being erroneously named, given the fact that in the US, the term has been subsumed by the left.

You have no idea what you are talking about

But depending on how they vote, the vote preferences generally flow to Labor :s

I think animal + vet bioscience is a lot more related to animal husbandry and the like, whereas in a straight science degree you can major in biology/zoology and do courses on ecology, conservation ecology, genetics, etc etc. At least, that was (sort of) my experience.

The Greens' incredible hypocrisy over "environmental" policies is frustrating, though. If they really cared about climate change and pollution and shit they would support nuclear energy.

Why on god's green earth (lol) would you ever vote for the Greens? Do you see them as a genuine alternative or as a protest vote against the major parties? Also Abbott is a Rhodes scholar so while he may be misguided and occasionally a bit of a twit, he is anything but stupid

Nah, it's educational.

I interpreted it differently. If that is indeed the case, than I will certainly no longer have respect for his position.

Here's a secret: I agree with you. And it is changing, slowly, from the bottom up. But I would much rather Liberal's open conservatism than Labor's no-we're-not-conservative conservatism hypocrisy.

Cbf to go through interviews and/or Hansard to do so, tbqh. I'm willing to reservedly (given the RU486 debacle) give him the benefit of the doubt on this issue, and trust the Liberal Left to come down on him hammer and tongs if he decides to abandon his previous dedication to...

I respect the fact that he's willing to set aside his faith on certain issues, what is the problem with that :/ Yes I am, but that has really no bearing because my detailed opinions on certain issues have already been posted here. *shrug* Please apply your attack-dog argument style elsewhere
