Slightly better than the Gillard/Rudd years though.

I don't blame Abbott one bit for anything he says or does. What Turnbull did was unforgivable, cowardly and nasty, he's done nothing since to make me change my mind.

I'll be pretty surprised if he gets back in next year, but the alternative in Shorten is just as sickening.

Why bother having elections when it seems the polls run the country these days.

Hanson is hell-bent on abusing everybody and anybody that moves, making herself a very unpopular figure. Her dictatorial followers will not admit that of course. Where does she think that is leading her I think it will lead to implosion. You are not supposed to insult society no matter what her opinions are.
Abbot is doing his best to insult his own party, I think this whole shemozzle of politics is not in Australia’s best interests. Where is the governor general in all of this, he is on Abbott’s side that is where he is.
A key political fundraiser for former prime minister Tony Abbott has maintained contact with Chinese Communist Party-aligned businessman Huang Xiangmo, despite warnings from ASIO to Mr Abbott about the billionaire donor.
Mr Huang has sought to get Abbott confidant and Liberal party heavyweight, John Caputo, to intervene in his citizenship application, according to a well-placed source.
Two Liberal MPs have been secretly working on a plan to legalise same-sex marriage in Australia as soon as August, with a draft copy of the laws well advanced and consultation with advocates under way.
Fairfax Media can reveal WA senator Dean Smith and NSW lower house MP Trent Zimmerman are working on a private members' bill they hope will be presented to Parliament to legalise same-sex marriage through a conscience vote, rather than the Turnbull government's stated policy of a national, non-binding plebiscite.

The lunatic-Left has an unhealthy obsession with Tony Abbott, a back bencher who has absolutely no authority in the Left-Turnbull government, nor any influence on anyone or anything. Abbott is just a lot of background noise, and is unlikely to be endorsed for his own seat at the next election: he is finished, just like conservatism in the Liberal party is finished.

Now, I repeat for you stupid hicks - this thread is about the fact that Turnbull has two more more negative polls to go before he is in the same position as Abbott was; nothing to do with individual politicians, Pauline Hanson, or Tim Tams.

It's a waste of time these days for anyone to try to introduce a topic on this forum when there are so many stupid posters who just use other people's input to get on their own irrelevant bandwagons, because they don't have the ability to start a thread of their own.The real standouts in this are doog and aj philips.

Dear ttbn,

Our Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull like John Howard
stresses "the broad church" of Coalition politics.
He has no choice. He must accommodate residual liberals,
economic pragmatists, and ultra-conservatives within his
government and wrangle a viable consensus. His greatest
threat is the sniping from ultra conservatives who
continue to champion Tony Abbott. Hopefully that man will
not win in his electorate and will get kicked out of politics
for good. He should have left politics a long time ago.

I believe that Mr Turnbull will win the next election.
His government's recent success in getting the Gonski Schools
Funding program passed has shown that the Coalition is on
the right track to win voters over. And there's still plenty
of time to achieve even more prior to the next election.
Labor by not supporting the Coalition's positive agenda will
lose a lot of voters.

Abbott is the one that consistently makes news or haven't you noticed. He is the string puller and very much a major disruption, of the Liberals, the real liberals i mean, not the imposter's infiltrating a once great political party. He has supporters in Radio that are biased to the point of idiot ism.
He should not have been helped to retain his seat in the last election, He needs a home-coming on a one way ticket.

Tony has been drawing hatred from the regressives for the last 25 years. Shows he must have something good going for him. Maybe they still hate him because he defied every regressives dogma by stopping the boats and got rid of the idioitc breathing tax. He did more good in 12 months than Gillard/Rudd wreckers did in 7 years. Come back Tony all is forgiven or at least join Cory in standing up to the socialist wrecking this nation.
