TONY Abbott's latest pitch to the Australian people and the Business Council of Australia to have a “mature” discussion in regards to an increase in the GST would be hilarious if it were not so serious.

He completely disregarded the Australian population the same day, when he bypassed Parliament to introduce an increase in the petrol excise tax.
So if Abbott does not get the help from business, the states or the people of Australia to introduce a rise in the GST, will he cut a new key and use the back door permanently like the fuel excise sidestep.
Surely their must be something else he could use to bypass everyone again. Those pesky voters really are a pain in the neck.
We could even go to the ballot box in 2016, to vote on not having any more elections; just let Abbott run amok.
This individual spent the previous three years blocking any tax reform, now he wants everybody to get on board team Australia, which is performing worse than our cricket team, to squeeze every last dollar out of anybody who has anything left, except big business and his untouchable interests, including mining companies, who are going to be rebated any petrol excise increase.
As far as a mature debate is concerned, you couldn't have a mature debate with this bloke even if he was chloroformed.
No wonder Victorian Premier Denis Napthine doesn't want Abbott anywhere near the place, and now the federal treasurer has linked the fuel excise increase to the building of the East West Link. I'm sure all Victorian voters are tickled pink to be slugged for something they will probably never drive on, especially the poor people who only drive around the corner. What about their roads?
No other prime minister has ever had to defend reducing the pension for at least 50 years.
It is abundantly clear that the majority of the Australian population have had a gutful of some senior government politicians, who they see as nothing more than lying individuals.
I cant wait for Abbott's Christmas message to the pensioners and the youth of Australia.
It should be a real tear-jerker.
