Stu further advises:

I fully expect to cop some flack over this post, but if something is silly, it's silly from either side of the divide. Having been a strong supporter of Tony Abbott since he won the leadership of the party, I despair at the constant free kicks given to the opposition through lack of a consultative process. If there's one thing I pride myself on as a conservative, it is our ability to rise above the 'tribal' and call something for what it is!
