I'll
admit - I reckon Tony Abbott and the Liberal Party have got some good
policies. He wants to put more funding into Dementia research and the Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine.
Their Paid Parental Leave scheme treats it as a "Leave" scheme like any other, like Sick Leave, Long Service Leave, Carer's Leave etc.. It should be paid at replacement wage. Whether or not people on $150,000 deserve the payment is a question for another time. But it's not a bad idea overall.
They want to lower Company Tax for most businesses, and want to get rid of the School Kids Bonus (which was just about buying votes anyway).
These are good. But the problem is, there is a LOT of bad to go with it.
