A view of a party at war.


Did everyone see the Attack
Watch ABC24 in the next half hour for a repeat.




MICHAEL Kroger is standing by claims his former close mate Peter Costello attempted to strong-arm his way back into Parliament by demanding a plum Victorian seat, telling Liberals his version is ''100 per cent correct''.

In a growing rift in the Victorian Liberal Party, Mr Kroger is maintaining he met the former treasurer for lunch late last year at a Melbourne venue at which about 100 other people were present.

According to Mr Kroger's version, relayed to Liberals yesterday, the lunch, recorded in a diary entry, did not end well after Mr Costello demanded Mr Kroger persuade rising star Josh Frydenberg to stand aside from the safe seat of Kooyong, but refused to countenance asking his former staffer Kelly O'Dwyer to vacate his former seat of Higgins.

Mr Costello has strenuously denied reports he asked Mr Kroger to help him find a safe Victorian seat to allow him to stage a political comeback after bowing out following the Coalition's 2007 election loss, calling the claims ''lurid''.

Mr Costello publicly accused Mr Kroger of briefing the story because his former wife, Liberal senator Helen Kroger, had been demoted to the tenuous third position on the Liberal Senate ticket.

Other Victorian Liberals have also expressed scepticism, with one senior source saying the relationship between the former friends had been ''septic'' for about four years.

The falling-out is said to have been precipitated partly because Mr Costello wanted to install Ms O'Dwyer or former Victorian Liberals state director Julian Sheezel in his old seat of Higgins, while Mr Kroger believed former Liberal vice-president Jason Aldworth was a better candidate.

Mr Costello was also said to be bitter because Mr Kroger and other Liberals had become friendly with Malcolm Turnbull, who was seen as a rival to Mr Costello.

on now

Now Abbott is implying Kroger is lying about Costello attacking Abbott behind Abbott's back.


What A Joke The Liberal Party Is.

If anyone should step aside for Costello, it should be Kelly O'Dwyer so Costello gets his old seat back.


Be brilliant if Libs drag him back

Yep, then the Libs could have three factions, Abbott, Turnbull and Costello.

another wannabe without the balls to do anything about it ... Costello will wait for Abbott to hand over the leadership

Coalition!

Abbott wasn't leading the economic team, so Abbott has nothing to do with the economics of that period. (Plus it was a mining boom and the cash was falling over the counter.)



We are talking of now :


Clive Palmer, Joe Hockey, Barnaby Joyce and Economic Illiterate Abbott.


What a scary economic team

Theres no escaping that the end of Abbotts long honeymoon period with the media has shown him up to be a moron who has somehow managed to fly under the radar for all these years.
Abbott should be working in a sheltered workshop not looking at becoming our next PM
