A lot will depend on whether the unions decide they have had enough of hopeless Shorty and replace him with Albo Sneezy.

This would be a major shock for Malcolm who is sitting pretty while ever bumbling stumbling blunderbus Shorty is there.

This would be the time for Tone to strike. The Libs need an attack dog to rip very vulnerable Labor to bits.

But the real impediment to progress are the independent Senators all pulling in different directions and all pushing their own irrelevant wheelbarrows and all trying to be seen to be "important" by blocking lego.

Will the abominable shock of the specter of Shorty as "PM" be enough to frighten them out of their cocoons ?

Hey,... Hey,... wait for it............ w a i t f o r it:

GO COPPER INTERNET LEGACY FOR THE NASTY BLUE BLOOD BRIGADE FOREVER!

OH- GOOD LUCK TO BARNETT AT THE BASEBALL BAT PARTY- I WONDER HOW MANY OF US HAVE VOTES ALREADY Shocked

im not sure what all the fuss is about ...

he talked about what "WE" and other Media outlets have been talking about for months.. '

so what??

and he was 100% right..

they are losing votes to One Nation (so are Labor)

housing is becoming unaffordable due to the hundreds of thousands of immigrants coming in..

Dick Smith has already brought this up some time ago..

etc etc...

you can keep burying your head in the sand or you can be a man and talk about it openly...

this is how trump won the US election..

he looked at all of the troubles throughout the US and made an election campaign out of it...

here in australia... we just pander to minority groups and play the identity political game too scared to come out like a man and lay it on the table..

straight up..

"awww.. we might offend someone "

pfft.. bunch of handbagging pussies.. Roll Eyes

Totally agree!!

Openly undermining Turnbull is poor form. But what the weirdo freak turnbull did to Abbott was ok ?

Then came the "fixer". Christopher Pyne set up each Abbott proposition and then smacked it out of the park.

"He said that we should freeze immigration yet when he was the PM, he had record levels of immigration; He said we should abolish the Human Rights Commission and yet when he was the PM, he shut down the debate on whether we should reform section 18C; He says we should cut taxes, and yet when he was the PM he increased taxes, whether it was the deficit levy on high-income earners or whether it was the fuel tax; He says we should slash spending and yet when he was the PM in 2014 he attempted to slash spending and all he did was create zombie bills that couldn't pass through the Senate; and the fifth subject, of course, was the renewable energy target and the truth is of course he set the RET at 23.5 per cent and described it at the time as one of the achievements of his government."

Looks like Abbott is a fail, according to Pyne... Poor Juliar. This week (to be honest most of the time), constant coalition fail.

Interesting. I still think he should just retire.

Another thing he has in common with Pauline is that in his case he needs another 4 days or so in the big chair to get his PM's perks.

He is going nowhere till he guarantees his own personal trough is going to be supplies. Pauline needed another term and has worked for 20 years to get it and set herself up for life.

I don't think one should dismiss Abbott's current policy suggestions based on his past as PM. I think he has tapped into a few good ideas, pity as PM he didn't have them then.
