Are you calling 54% of all Australians of voting age as "brain dead"?
Yes we are happy with him because he has been productive and has a job to do lest we end up as bankrupt as Turkey. Australian Governments have always been proactive and do not bury their heads in the sand.
He has also solved a lot of issues such as illegal immigration which I might add was responsible for over 300 deaths at sea last year. We no longer have an issue which means more legal immigrants through the front door.
Yes I was part of the 54% brain dead Aussies. Didn't have much choice in the matter either. The other alternative (Gillard and then Rudd) was absolutely terrible for Australia. When they succeeded Howard, they manage to stuff everything up.
Aussies generally vote Liberal for its record in Financial Management and security in uncertain times.
At the moment, the Australian economy is in a downturn for various reasons and the Government is spending more than its revenue. This is very unusual for Australia - unlike the UK and US.
He is balancing the budget without raising tax except for those earning more than 180,000. Yes we have austerity now, the differance is that his Government is acting early before they end up like various EU countries. No Australian can ask for more than that!
The opposition are fair weather pilots. When you have thunderstorms you want Liberals in the hot seat.
And let me tell you this. He is far more intelligent than you or I or anyone else on this forum for that matter. And on top of this, Australia is a global player and 11th largest economy on the planet. He has had to deal with a lot in his term - MH370, MH17, Ukraine, war against DAESH, G20, FTA with China, new submarine contract, illegal immigration, Russian threats, homeland security, budget and economy and so far he is putting the runs on the board.
