As ever was, the initial 'flush' of new government appears to have begun to change it's optional meaning from 'fresh', 'glowing', etc. to the more pedestrian 'down the drain' interpretation. The dire predictions of budgetary slash and burn in May, certainly wont enhance the Abbott regime's faltering popularity with a disquieted electorate, who perhaps expected more muscle in the action department and less between the ears?
More ominously for many Victorian voters, would be the unexplained appearance of former premier Jeff Kennett in one of Abbott's photo opportunities yesterday. This state is still dealing with major service delivery short-comings which can be attributed directly to the 'Thatcher'-like destruction wrought by Kennett's manic stewardship of the state from 1992 to '99.
