Tony Abbott, Liberal Party leader says this is a government which just can’t be trusted with the Australian economy. It's a government that can't be trusted with all of the investment and jobs that the mining industry creates. Tony Abbott promises to cut government spending and stop the boats of asylum seekers. He's a fitness fanatic, completing an 'iron man' competition earlier this year. And he's also famed for sporting red speedos on the beach or budgie smugglers as they're known here. Meanwhile, it's Julia Gillard's earlobes which have been attracting attention. Her Labor party is leaning on its handling of the economic crisis and its green policy.
