I would have thought it would have taken Tony Abbott relatively little effort to convince the independents to allow the Coalition to form government. They are conservative in nature and would more closely align to that side of politics.
The requests that the independents have asked of both leaders are entirely reasonable, yet it would seem that that Tony Abbott still think that he in campaign mode with his refusal to allow treasury to cost the Coalitions policies on the basis of potential 'leaks'. If the costings are correct will deliver the expected savings and outcomes that is contained in them then why does it matter if their are leaks or not. Any leak would just confirm that they are correct. From the outside it appears that they have something to hide.
Maybe it is time to get on with proper consultation and stop the intransigence, Australians have voted and expect our parliament to form government. As it stands it would seem the coalition is taking the my way or the high way line, which has the potential to hand the Labor government - hardly what is desired I would have thought. The words 'snatch defeat from jaws victory' come to mind.
