Abbott could see himself being in the chair in 20 years time, throwing a few crumbs to the peasants gathered at his feet.

There is no doubt Julia was right calling him out as a misogynist. A backdated character locked in the 1800’s.

Turnbull has got it hard in front of him, no doubt there will be backlash after today’s realignment of loyalist’s . With more females to show the difference between him to Abbott.

Morrison, I do not like , he has serious faults being a hard Conservative and would be better off sitting beside Abbott. Hockey has got to go, he told to many of Abbott’s lies.

It will be an interesting 6 months to see if Turnbull can manage his party, and keep a peaceful atmosphere

I'm with you on Morrison, Doog.

I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, and if I was Turnbull I wouldn't offer him anything. He is far too conservative, and belongs on the backbench. He is an Abbott disciple, yet ready to jump ship as soon as Abbott looked like losing the top job.
A slimy character.

I watched his interview with that 'shock jock' on radio the other day, and the way he carried on about not discussing his religion made me even more suspicious about him.
He had no problem using his religious beliefs when it suited him.
I would have thought these pollies would be well aware of how these shock jocks operate and the sorts of issues they will bring up, so why did Morrison agree to be interviewed by him?

Suze, I would suggest most of these interviews would have pre disclosed questions.

Poirot, perhaps you should look into writing books because either you're an insider, or you have a great imagination.

It's quite plain and simple to me, Abbott was warned about under performing and he was dropped.

Abbott under-performing, he spent all of his time watching his rear end, and had no option than to under-perform. Nothing is ever clear cut especially with Abbott not wanting to depart on any terms. Lots of blood was lost, there always is.

Morrison would knife Turnbull at a minutes notice, or less. He carries Turnbull’s biggest danger. As Abbott’s assassin I would not have him any where near.

Turnbull will have his hands full, making all sides in his party happy.

What do you guys think Mr Abbott is going to do
next?

Will he front up on the backbench at all, or will
he resign from Parliament altogether?

What does the future hold for him now?

Your thoughts please?

It’s is going to be very lonely on the backbench. Tony may throw in the towel and cause more disruption. Turnbull surely has sliced and diced.

The Coalition is a shell of it former self now, and unelected at that. The only thing Turnbull can,t get out of the way is Barnaby.
I do not think the Abbott voters are going to be happy at all. This is not what they voted for. We voted for a coalition full of promises and good will to all, and got an Abbott agenda instead.

Congratulations to Turnbull until further notice.
