S3E8 Australia's Future with Tony Abbott - A bad budget for Australia 

They've come here, with a chip on their shoulder, which will never go away.If they won't accept our way of life, they should leave and return to the life they've supposedly run away from.

Is protesting the deaths of 35,500 Palestinians (mostly civilians, 14,000 dead children) pro-Hamas and anti-Semitic?!? I despise Hamas as much as anyone but I am also shocked by Israel’s willingness to kill 1.7% of Gaza’s entire population and their apartheid-like treatment of Palestinians living in the West Bank. Tony talks about Australian Muslims supporting Gaza and, apparently by extension, Hamas. There are also members of the Australian Jewish community who are not Israeli yet strongly support Israel and their actions because they are Jewish. Israel has the right to exist but what kind of democracy forcibly evicts people from their homes (Jerusalem) and also settles illegally in their territories (West Bank)?

So nice to listen to common sense

As an Immigrant, i feel that we are invited to this country as a workforce rather than integrating us to mainstream club of power and money who set the rule for the country .

Daniel Wild characterising the university protests as “pro-Hamas”… what an absolute tool.

This inane presupposition that Israel is this wonderful state we should all bow down for and never whisper a single criticism of is sounding more ridiculous each day.

Is difficult to understand how Australians just accept whatever is thrown at them.

Albo has just come straight from BS’ing the budget to secretly rush through another new vehicle tax that will add a minimum extra $25,000 onto a new Landcruiser without acknowledging any debates to the contrary or due diligence on how these new rushed taxes will effect the average family, so much for trying to help battling Aussies, all they can do is spend and tax. In the last 2 years everything is higher, taxes, inflation, rent, property, cost of living, immigration, fuel & energy, while the roads, hospital & services have declined. The climate change narrative is convoluted without any real data to give it credence to keeping everyone poor and struggling forever while the billionaires get more billions for a net zero target that is not achievable without at least considering nuclear energy in the mix. Some climate data & reports show that the planet is actually getting colder in the last hundred years, so which is wrong? CO2 doesn’t hurt life it increases it, so all the taxpayer money being spent on expensive, green, unreliable, unsustainable energy & grid systems is just wasted money when we could & should be getting hooked into clean, cheap, reliable, energy dense nuclear power that can power big industry’s for a hundred years with minimal fuel and maintenance requirements once installed & using existing grid structure. The EV utopia is just another pipe dream we can not visualise because we dont have the necessary energy or infrastructure to support it in Australia among its many other problems, it will fail if implemented and also keep us very broke. Hydrogen is another ideological technology that needs proper intellectual assessment before going forward as it has a relatively low density power by unit & is extremely explosive, hydrogen certainly should never be considered for any road transport use. Wasting more billions keeping his woke, racist, voice agenda’s alive & more land giveaways regardless of a resounding NO vote by referendum. Why are we giving so much aid to overseas when we are struggling ourselves. Albo gave PNG $60 million for a new sports stadium, but we cant even afford to build one for when the games come to Brisbane. I get sick of hearing how much our govt wastes taxpayer money, every day there is a new multimillion or multibillion dollar splurge or handout or give away, I think could be put to much better use while average Aussie are in a struggling or homeless situation created by useless woke Albo & our Labor govt. A $9.3 billion budget surplus counts for under 1% of the national debt currently north of $1.3 trillion dollars. His newly selected Woke mate for a Governor General refers to Australia Day as Invasion Day, the last person who should ever be given such a position. Albo and his pathetic team of Labor are on track to wreck everything good about Australia if we don’t boot them out soon.

There must be an inquiry, to shine a light on, who/what entities is funding/coordinating these Muslim promoting extremist rally’s/protest/encampment sewing division ???

Well spoken Tony Abbott thank you 👍

Yes but none of our PM's have ever suggested a referendum on having a Bill of Rights or similar. The Australian people can be subject to any treatment, including loss of expression, and there is nothing to protect us. Even our better PM's failed.

STOP CALLING THEM ELITES. Not Elite 💩

The Voice referendum delivered for Government politics and the nation in general a resounding message that the voters donot want apartheid in Australia. I find it amazing Peter Dutton in the budget reply started by criticising the referendum which tells me politicians in general while indulging in the result of the Voice referendum forget the significance of the democratic mechanism that delivered that result. The fact is citizen referendums can be the saviour for Australia if used responsibly. The Tyranny of the minorities with their disproportionate influence with policy would be laid to rest by way of ultimate accountability to the voters 24/7. It works you just need to ask the Swiss.

With these political leaders it will become the great Australia slum

If Dutton can get in the lodge at the next election, he needs to get Tony straight into his cabinet. F@#k what the chattering elites and rabid media says about him!!

Good to hear Tony Abbott-

I find it hypocritical that Tony Abbot should believe that he has the credibility to criticise the current Government’s budget when the budget of his own failure of a government had every element ridiculed and dismissed at the time. Joe Hockey’s budget was a disaster of the first order, with barely any element remaining in place to be of any economic benefit. What a joke! 🤪

I’m 76 and working as a casual caregiver.I have reached an income level which reduced my aged pension by $295 !! No wonder retired people don’t get back into the workforce !

Coming from the ex- Prime Minister whose first budget beared no resemblance at all to his election promises.

To what extent is Australia learning anything from Audrey Tang and Taiwan to "Reboot Democracy"?

The lead sentence, "Australia, the greatest nation on earth..." Not anymore. Love you Tony, but shite mate, you blew it.

People who support the employment of only 75% of the workforce by the private sector, should be happy to payer high taxes. We have a plethora of ever increasing indirect taxes, which is highly inflationary.

How do I block this nonsense.

good on ya tony. Truth and commonsense.

Bring back Tony Abbott as Pm we definitely need you now more than ever 🙏🇦🇺

Australia needs a car industry to build EVs. WHO STUFFED IT ?

Fellow of the Institute of Public Affairs - does he sweep the floors and clean the dunnies where 'shit happens' ?

With immigration, 2% ‘growth’ is a per capita recession.

At 22:00 - Australia is a WESTERN Country. Australia Foundation is JudaoChristian. SAY it CLEARLY.

Kicked the can of blood and tears for 76 years. Only now it's hit the wall. It will not disappear no matter what you try. Ask your self

What is $35 billion a year? Sure ain’t what $35 billion was in 2015.

Australia needs a Milei to make up for 10 lost years without proper prime minister

The government should respect the people’s choices, And stop giving embassy jobs to incompetent idiots…..

Yeah, but we're investing in a lot more investments, Chalmers said so about 6 times 😂

The $300 power bill subsidy and rental subsidy for low income earners is simply a rebranding and therefor an extension of job seeker.

Tony Abbott the Prime Minister this country should still have...God help us with the rubbish we have now.😢

paying back Labors debt for the next twenty years both federal and Daniel Andrews..

Bring in more Third World people, give Aboriginals more power to define policy. Western civilization in Australia - What could go wrong?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 ONya tony can you come back

Austerity measures and Robodebt would be better, as long as we have tax advice from PwC.

Just imagine a man like this being deposed by a "man" like Turnbull !!!

Yaaaawn.

They all come wanting their worship places mosques, temples etc. Why even allow that? You go to their third world countries and see what religions have done there.

Yes the labor party is spending money in the wrong places that could've helped us out instead of helping rich people 🙄 so much for Labor caring for low income people who do it tough yet twiggy forest gets billions just to develop renewables when hes rich already he could have spend his own money im all for renewables but the times are not right when power bills are up and up i like the idea about nuclear power it will reduce emissions but provide power i know renewables are not really reliable as now i found out we had a bloody blackout the other day and most businesses had suffered i went to my local iga and they suffered too they had to throw away there stock as there was no refrigeration i did ask the iga manager if they ever looked into batteries for backup but she told me a very interesting thing that batteries are not really viable for the iga yes they got solar power on roofs but having a battery is not a option as the batteries cant run everything yes it can provide the basics like lights but it cannot run the refrigerators in a blackout

Tony was the great wrecker of Australian politics. I can't recall anything he built while in office, but i do recall what he tore down.

Caliphate

Tony Abbott looks back at his glory days when he used to be a has-been

If Abbott had something constructive to say, it would be delivered in a well-thought-out continuous stream of words. 'AH' would not be his every second word. He obviously running on supposition and talking partisan bullshit.

Tony do you condemn what Israel is doing in Gaza. And do you agree the Palestinians should have its own State and be a UN member. All those things immediately?

Or simpleton

He was a gamble for PM and one I approved of. But proved another useless fool who let his Opus Dei love of religion cloud his judgment and was in the end a failure. Maybe happened 10y too early for him as he comes over better now

"We face a more perilous world", according to Mr.Abbott. That's OK. When we're under threat, we can just send Tony out to shirtfront our enemies, just like he did to Mr.Putin. The Abbott/Hockey Budget. What a joke ! Both of them were out office within 18 months of that, They went from being "lifters" to "leaners". What a sad joke that was.

Not a fan of Tony Abbot but he has more scores on the board re what the Australian Public wanted. I was hoping Turnbull would be a bit of fresh air in the liberal national party but they like the current labour crop of Lefties will implode on a power struggle. Time for a new conservative group that is cohesive with its power base. To many chances To many times. We are needing a statesman like attitude to lead us forward as a nation. Aussie Jeff Moore

Zzzzzzzzzzz............

$450 million for two new planes for the prime minister & his ministers is NOT essential spending of tax payer's money !! We need more tradies, those that contribute to our economy.

Sycophantic reporter, softball questions.

Build more Catholic churches ?

Tony , I have always held you in high esteem BUT ………. !! Australia has been reliant on America and Britain for too long and we need to seriously consider were we stand , given the Western Countries ( including ourselves) lies , propaganda and donating of taxpayer’s money to Ukraine , in what is a war started by America and NATO with no thoughts for the people of Ukraine , merely world domination. In relation to Israel’s behaviour towards the innocent people of Gaza ( even if you only count children ) are you honestly saying that Israel has acted any better than Hamas ? If you do condone Israel’s murder of thousands of innocent people then you aren’t the bloke I thought you were . If you don’t condone their behaviour ,then what a shame you didn’t say so publicly .

Everyone who chooses to live in Australia must be required to respect the laws, culture, and rights of Australians and the rest of the community who are abiding by them. Anyone who comes to Australia refuse to learn to speak the language, abide by Australian norms and consequently expect Australia to change for them should really just go somewhere else.

Abbots a b

Great video thank you for sharing it with us

Tony don't you know what Islam is? or what the Quran commands? I was so sure you would being a scholar.. they aren't here for any reason other than Jihad

I have absolutely no interest in what toxic simpleton Abbot has to say.

You are really scraping the bottom of the barrel here but then you are a conservative think tank.

We don’t need Abbott in Australia

The laziest of all ways sums up Albanese and his Greens and Teals comrades

Tony ... Please come back 😎

I love the irony of this. Discussing Australia’s future with one of the most conservative, anti development, anti progress PMs in post war history.

Am I the only one here who is concerned about spending whatever time I have left in an evil socialist Australia?.

Came here for racist right wing outrage.... Wasn't disappointed.

I wasn't really expecting much else from this budget with Albo at the wheel. May as well just call it, Albo's fudgit.

What is best for the world ,what is best for humanity Tony!? …fuck what is best for the Jews and Australia .
