Tony Abbott was elected new leader of the Liberal Party in Australia a few days ago largely based on his stand against passing the Emissions Trading Bill.
 
He has had a long career in politics and has served as a minister in the previous government but his public speaking style could certainly be improved.
 
Tony Abbott prefaces nearly every phrase with "um" or "ah". There are many examples of this  including Tony Abbott interview I stopped counting at 100 "ums" and "ahs".
 
If he is going to become a leader of any significance, he will obviously need to improve his skills as a speaker when enunciating the policies of his party.
 
My challenge to Tony Abbott is to complete one sentence without using an "um" or an "ah".
 
It wont be easy.
