Hassie,

Take it easy.

None of us can predict what the future will bring.
It's been an awful week in politics all that we
can do is wait and see what happens next.
Hopefully it will be better than what we've seen
over this past week.

As for Julie Bishop knifing Tony Abbott?
She did no such thing. It was the party who decided
a change of leadership was needed after his Prince
Philip fiasco - and his ratings in the polls took a
dive.

stick to your little narrative Foxy. And the regressive Turnbull turned a 30 seat majority into a one seat majority. Not much of a success. No wonder the party decided for a change as you put it.

Come off it runner, the Liberal Party realized Abbott was an absolute disaster, and they were staring at electoral annihilation. Turnbull kept them in office, at least for one more term.
You read too much of that fairy book of yours.

Foxy you are correct once again.

My comments about Turnbulls seat being a likely win for the greens got under Hasbeens skin, a truth needs underlining,Queenslanders often think far differently that other Australians, EG Hanson can not get the same results out side that state,, far from be just my opinion, I gathered it from the afternoon and night of Turnbulls fall, media, most of the TV experts, spoke of the likely outcome of a by election in that seat,already this morning rewatched ABC Sunday, and read all stories in SMH, my thoughts are often educated re use of others that I have come to feel are right.
This morning we saw opinion poll results,I have seen some go totally out of control,, because they do not agree, but in those polls do not look for or find the result of the next election, Morrison, given the chance,,can and wills win back some of those lost votes

The dogged refusal to consider in the end voters often do not agree with us is not going to change the fact they do, and any thought internal warfare, common on both sides, is not in fact ignoring the voters, even saying to them *you do not matter* is too damaging, policy still has time to be the driving factor on who wins personalities or not my view the result of the spill was the best out come other than keeping Turnbull, for a little longer, seems shared by most media experts

Hi Foxy, I see our old sparing partner, and big "L" Liberal, Shadow Minister has been keeping a very low profile on these matters of the past week. I wounder why? He may pop in and give us some of his sanctimonious clap trap shortly.

In reference to the change of leadership, Abbott has been reported in a quip to Dutton after the meeting as saying; "Don't worry, its only early days." What ever that means.
