  Probably; glad there was some change... I don't trust Abbott; him and his lieutenant Joe Hockey...

  After assuming office, Abbott quickly moved to dismantle Australia’s limited carbon reduction systems, lower the country’s renewable energy targets, and disband a climate advisory body. In September of 2014, Abbott was notably absent from a UN climate summit that included more than 120 world leaders.
  
  eh kamusta naman?? red flag galore.
  
  the new pm is a rich investment banker so... hmm.. tingnan natin. I like his progressive stance on stem cell research and abortion considering he is a Presbyterian.

  New PM but still they are going to introduce the same old policy that was Rejected by the senate, Right now they are introducing the 28 day wait for the allowance of people looking for work .... stay tuned they might still introduce the GP tax and the Pension age Increase
  
  Also they Turnbull just signed an agreements with the Nats that they are taking the Same-Sex Legislation to Plebiscite, dont get me wrong I am against with it but putting it into plebiscite will just cost tax payers money when they can just vote on that particular issue which i am sure will be defeated

  Regarding Marriage Equality, it just surprises me that Oz seems to be lagging behind on this issue... Our close neighbour NZ for instance seems to be always one step ahead of us in terms of Equality... NZ as I recall, was the pioneer for Women Suffrage, and also one of the first countries to legalize same-sex marriage...
  
  Not saying that NZ and Oz are one and the same, but we all know that both countries have a common denominator in myriad of things... how come not on Equality?

  It doesn't really matter, same party, same core principles. It did help boost the Libs popularity. Good thing I don't have to worry about nbn, got my tpg fibre installed 7 months ago.
  
  Maka labour pala ako. Binigyan ako ni Kevin ng stimulus package nung financial crisis kahit work visa lang ako. I voted for labour during the last election, disappointed at natalo sila.
