Shadow, when Labor was in trouble in government you were screaming for an election. But with the Liberal disaster crumbling like it is, the last thing you want is an election. Why is that? I never said Labor could win Wentworth, I said there would be a large backlash against the Liberals in a by-election. No confidence votes are hard to achieve, never been a successful one in the Federal parliament. But legislative defeat is much more likely, and the ensuing paralysis forces a moral Prime Minister to see out the GG to dissolve parliament. Then again the Mad Monk is hardly moral, now is he.

Shadow, The Gap is in the seat of Wentworth, maybe Malcolm could hold the next party meeting there, an invite the disloyal to do the honorable thing, Could be a long queue though.

Foxy,

When I made my prediction I did say that it was my guesstimate with a wide margin of error. Secondly as May is still PM, the conservatives didn't lose, in fact, they got enough seats to guarantee that Labor couldn't govern. Using your logic Juliar lost the 2013 election badly as she got fewer seats than Abbott.

Paul,

You are telling porkies again, when was I screaming for an election? Secondly, you were definitely offering up a no-confidence vote and the libs losing Wentworth as possibilities.

There are 2 years to the next election, and a lot can happen in that time.

Shadow, do you really believe this incompetent conservative government in Canberra can run a full term. Given their track record imagine the havoc they will wreak on Australia in two years. It's clear Abbott is working to launch a challenge on Turnballs shortly.
Which camp are you in, Turnbulls or Abbotts?

Did you celebrate the birthday present this mob gave the big end of town on 1st July, whilst robbing the pockets of the lowest paid workers?

Dear Shadow Minister,

A lot is already happening.

Sadly Mr Abbott is not about to sit quietly and suppport
the team as he promised. He's always placed his own interests
first. There's nothing new in that. He hasn't given up his
dreams of holding court in Kirribilli House.
He told us in his departing statements - "There will be no
wrecking, no undermining and no sniping." As far as I remember
there was no time frame on that pledge or qualifying statements.
And its clear that he's again behaving like a petulant
child, angry at being kicked off the footy team, lobbying
verbal grenades and leaning over the shoulder of the Turnbull
government.

It should be the back bencher and not the Prime Minister who
should quit if the government is not big enough for both.
Mr Abbott should sit down and let the government get on with
the job of governance. This country needs some sort of
stability. Mr Abbott is doing his party a great deal of damage.

Hi Foxy,

No doubt Abbott feels he was wronged, not just by Turnbull, but by others in the Party. Ones he thought he could count on for loyalty, but at the end of the day they put self interest first.
The day Abbott puts out his memoirs on this period in his political life is going to make for explosive, yet fascinating reading. The naming of names.
