Mega Thread All things Tony Abbott

[QuietB]

If Turnbull becomes leader Australia has no real choice at polls. We will have Turnbull’s Labor-like versus Shortens Labor and Australia heading down the Greek gurgler. Labor has shown no signs of having learned any governance lessons from 6 years of the worst governments we’ve ever had. Bleak times ahead for our nation. It can only get worse.

Until your tone achieved worse in 18 months

Also I think it's appropriate to revisit this

How can he be the worst when he literally hasnt done anything? Not one of his "controversial" policies has made it through to law. Labor literally stunk up the place and made it worse.

So if the meeting between Bishop and Turnbull really did occur was she telling him, that he was on his own as either way she will stay as Dep Leader and FM? Win, win for her?

Who will be standing against Tony Abbott and Julie Bishop next Tuesday? And also, remember that Scott Morrison has ruled himself out as a candidate.

When do you think this will next happen?

Can you imagine the carnage? Unemployment would reach tripe digits - insolvency firms would be insolvent

 

[Bomberboyokay]

That's not going to happen for a while yet, if ever.

If Turnbull is defeated on Tuesday, do you think that he would step down from the front bench?

Only Turnbull could get the numbers but I really wonder if Bishop will stand with Abbott, or if Abbott has said that without consulting her...after all, consultation, or lack of, is one of the reasons this is happening.

 

[Kynge of Begrem]

Would not be surprised if Turnbull does not stand.

Let the rot, really set in and then reluctantly get drafted...

 

[little graham]

Abetz saying Australia needed its border protected, carbon tax stopped and a free trade agreement. He's saying these are the really important things and the gov has delivered. He's insinuating nothing else matters. he's saying its good public policy and everything else is shenanigans.

We need an election.

 

[Admiral Byng]

Just heard the news on the radio. It's on, thank god.

Abbott vs Turnbull for the leadership

Bishop reelected deputy leader unopposed

Keating lost the first time around.

 

[Gough]

Abetz seems to think the issue is the ALP and knighthoods. Maybe we are seeing why the Libs are in this position.

 

[Kynge of Begrem]

Keating lost the first time around.

precisely, he knew he did not have the numbers and was just trying to wound Hawke.

I think, like Keating, he'll tell the media that if he's challenged and lost on Tuesday, then he's fired his "shot in the locker" and will go back to the back bench.

But I also think that he won't run. I have a suspicion that this is designed to flush out Abbott's opponent.

Kevin Andrews the doddering fool, is on ABC News 24 telling everyone he's voting against the spill motion. He knows that if Abbott is defeated, he's no longer a minister.

Not long now before they start blaming the electorate.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

TONY ABBOTT AND JULIE GILLARD!!!!!!

Andrews just said that, the fool!

 

[Jascave]

Kevin Andrews has announced he will be voting against the motion. Good luck to whoever is standing against Abbott on Tuesday, he'll need it.

I believe the team of Tony Abbott and Julia Gillard - Kevin Andrews 2015

That's what I thought he said. lols.

 

[Papa G]

Sounds as though Bishop is doing everything she can to not appear to be Gillard 2.0.

Can you blame her?

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Looks like many of the junior ministers (plus Andrews and Abetz) are saying publicly that they would vote against a spill motion.
