Now if they get rid of those clowns Hockey & Dutton, they'll stand an excellent chance of winning the next election.

@ otb,
Watch out for those gelding shears Wee Willie, for they are a-comin' to get you, 'Sooner than Later'.

LOL.

As the dust settles, the forums little band of sycophantic Abbott supporters from the rabid right must be feeling rather shell shocked following Mondays palace coup. Hopefully Turnbull's takeover will see a new beginning for conservative politics in Australia, at least at the federal level. I am not totally opposed to Liberal governments, in fact in my home state of NSW I consider the Baird government is doing a reasonably good job, despite some glaring stuff ups with hospitals, education and transport, but is preferable to the Labor rabble led by Luke Foley.
Australia's flirtation with arch conservatism, in the form of 'Abbottism', should now be at an end. It is Turnbull's job to see that this happens, sooner the better. Cutting the head off the viper is not enough, there are those in and out of government that Turnbull will have to deal with, starting with Cocky Joe Hockey, who has to go, that is a foregone conclusion! However there are a number of other Abbott failures who also need to be dealt with, Andrews and Abetz to name but two, there are others, who guard their power jealously, and are going to prove difficult to dislodge, and not all of them are in parliament.
