Abbott's canny enough to stay low and appear a team-player, doing newsy good deeds with the indigenous, while Warringahites forget his excesses and return him next election. We can expect the usual TA to rear his head again thereafter.

Abbott actually younger than Julie Bishop. Hmmm! No suggestion she is to old?

There's a bloke in Parliament with big ears
Who walks its corridors conjuring fears
He's a man whose ambition knows no bounds
Slithering havoc all around

His aim's to rule and we've come to see
That until he succeeds he won't let things be
The guy's a pollie whose style is rotten
He'll thud us all to the very bottom
He's got powerful friends and many foes
But, for our nation's sake he's got to go.

lovely to see Foxy's sarcasm(hatred) for Abbott after a dozen or so years. For manmy years she was in denial. Should not let him control your life so much Foxy.

runner,

I take it you're against free speech - unless you're the
one speaking it. And criticism does not equate with
"hatred." As a voter who cares about this country - I am
entitled to criticise our politicians and express an
opinion - which you yourself do frequently on this forum

So as I've told you previously - I would love to see things
from your perspective - but then we'd both be wrong.

Can we ask this? why hate Turnbull? let us look at the history here,Turnbull rolled Nelson,well his party supported him in doing that, Abbott rolled Turnbull, by one vote, party supported that, at about that time Labor knifed Rudd, his party did as they had been told,polls still bad Turnbull, and the party rolled Abbott,Abbott hates Turnbull,,Dutton tries to roll Turnbull! fails HA HA HA!Morrison, with Turnbulls backing wins? will Dutton hate him forever? or as long as he is in the house?school yard bully stuff of great use to my ALP so if you insist on another farce keep the man but if winning an election matters more than beating the other side of your party? let my joy continue
