Abbott/Liberal Govt Watch

[RustyCage]

Even if the jockey changes, it's still the same horse.
The difference is, Turnbull has some chance of winning an election - unlike the mad monk

Which is why I don't think he will come into leadership this early out from the election

Paid parental leave, changes to medicare co-opayment to introduce $20 gap for short visits came out of the PM Office and not cabinet for a start ... that's what the front bench is pissed off about.

Policy changes being made on the run by Abbott and his office will stop if he's removed.

Well we will see I guess.

Moved forward to 9am Monday morning.

Abbott is gone .... his only defence now is to beg his party not to be like Labor.

If the spill motion doesn't succeed tomorrow, the government will continue to be a circus.

thank you

Shoeboy?

Abbott didn't even have the courtesy to allow the whip to advise the Liberal MPs of the change of the party room meeting to deal with the spill motion.

He can call the meeting when he wishes, but extremely poor form that MPs find out about the change of date from the media.

C''mon Poodle, show some balls, make your move.

His move apparently was to ring up the proposed competitors to make sure he got a promotion in any changes

Will be very interesting to see how this pans out. Already have Barnaby threatening that the Nats could split if there is a leadership change

Does anyone seriously believe that the Nats would implode the government by withdrawing from the coalition and therefore triggering an election? The coalition would be slaughtered at a subsequent election.

Just a bluff to spook the Liberal backbench.

[dedja]

Believe me, this is just a media beatup, it will all blow over soon.

[dedja]

The Poodle has gone to ground, probably crapping himself about backing the winning horse.

Meanwhile, back at Labor headquarters ...

Woke up this morning to Corey Bernardi on the front foot towards Turnball.

The Libs can keep saying they are not labour but they are starting to im fight like them.

61 - 39
Abbott wins this battle
but he won't win the war.

Interesting to note - Labor cops a lot for being unstable - which it was during government - but since John Howard's demise Labor has had three leadership changes, as have Liberal.

Again proving they're both the same as each other.
