Mega Thread All things Tony Abbott

[E Shed]

If they have even a scrap of sense its Turnbull/Bishop and I believe Morrison has agreed on Treasury as his 30 pieces of silver.
Who knows, he may even be good at it (Morrison) He's a classic only following orders guy.

 

[Juddism]

Brough unloading on Abbott now...says he doesn't support the PM.

 

[pazza]

Has to be Truss or Joyce.

The Liberals wouldn't know how to run a country dunny....

Are you trolling?

Thread & prediction going great Dan26

Dan won't post..he's crunching the numbers!

 

[LennyStarkiller]

I think Turnbull or Bishop would win if it came down to one of those two and Abbott but if it was between Bishop and Turnbull at the end I think Bishop would win.

 

[Gough]

Bishop is the Dirty Digger's choice I would hazard to guess.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Are you trolling?

No, sadly.

 

[Upgrayedd]

I smell blood

 

[Maggie5]

So much going on by did I hear one of them say, Turnbull as long as he leaves the ETS alone?

 

[GreatBradScott]

Malcolm/JBish ticket.

Although there are possible long term complications with that arrangement, in the short term they will win back government.

That is why I can see Bishop getting up. To much of a shift from current policy to go with Turnbull and people know where he stands on certain issues that the Liberals aren't necessarily in favour of.

 

[Hank Scorpion]

Brough reported to have 'no intention' of challenging Abbott, but will not give him 'unequivocal support'.

Jensen, Entsch and Brough; The dominos are falling

That would be Dennis Jensen (Climate change denier).

Morrison on ABC saying that he supports the PM.

A job she is qualified for. It's time to install Turnbull- keep his more left of centre policies in check and end Shortens political career in 18 months time. Win,win.

Morrison on ABC saying that he supports the PM.

Yes, he supports the PM. And who is that next week?

 

[Forward Press]

If Turnbull is prevented from installing a more centrist direction for the coalition, then he too will get the shaft by the voters. I think the Victorian and Queensland state elections, along with Tony Abbott's record low popularity, indicates that the voting public don't want far right policies.

good, may that sociopath stay far away from the top job

They don't want far left either... Which is exactly why Turnbull should be installed- the centre decides elections.

 

[The Speaker]

Centrism may exist, but Turnbull is not one.

I don't disagree there. But if the right faction of the Libs thinks that putting a check on Turnbull will allow them to dictate terms, and still win the election, though, they will be in for a shock. Voters at the moment just aren't buying their ideology.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

If Turnbull is keen, and I have no doubt that he would be, would he be better off waiting until after the budget? If it's like the last one, it will be about as popular as knob rot, and by publicly reversing some of the more unpopular and and ideologically hard right polices, he cements his reputation as the darling of the centre.

It's crap timing but he has to do it now. If he doesn't his colleagues won't wait around for 3 months, they'll pick Bishop or Morrison.

 

[Forward Press]

Centrism may exist, but Turnbull is not one.

Bugz might be referring to the 'centre' of Australian voters - the non-ideological mass of voters that often helps to decide elections.

Turnbull certainly isn't exactly centre.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Centrism may exist, but Turnbull is not one.

It speaks volumes about the Liberal Party's position on the spectrum that being a republican and not having it in for gays makes one 'centrist'!
