I've respected Laura Tingle's work since she was with the Australian (back when I regularly read it). Unfortunately most of her work is inaccessible behind a pay wall. Luckily we can see a recent effort for free. Last week she wrote
Labor hopeless, Abbott a hollow man where she equates the Opposition Leader to King Arthur of
Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
... in his chain mail and ill-fitting crown, riding an imaginary horse while porters walk behind him banging coconut shells together is more the ticket.
She then goes on to tear apart his policies on Asylum seekers and look at his recent pronouncement on poker machine reform. She finishes with:
But two years is a long time to get away with being such a negative, opportunistic and hollow man.
Edit 5/11: Ben Eltham discusses Laura Tingle's article in
Will negative Abbott get a positive result?
