So, minor history lesson:

One of the things Howard was brilliant at when he was Prime Minister was causing "the Left" to utterly apeshit so he could point at them and laugh. Generally the media would do this too because, let's face it, we would get utterly pissed off, yell at Howard and all that. But then the media wouldn't pay attention and Howard would just raise his standing with not only "the Right" but a section of the middle too because "he stood his ground and didn't take any shit from those hippies".

Now, let's look at this "Tony Abbott is the Minister for Women" thing and think back to Abbott saying he saw Howard as his mentor.

He wants us to go crazy and post ranty things about him. He wants us to get upset. He's almost relying on it because by going nuts we give him a level of legitimacy.

We need to be more creative if we're going to do anything like make sure he's a one-term PM, if that's even possible. We also need to convince people outside our general echo-chamber of friends. None of this i
