LeeToRainesToRoach said:At least Abbott has spoken like a statesman.
"We have lost the Prime Minister but there is still a government to save. That's what all of us will do our best to do now, to save the government. Because, as we have just been reminding ourselves, we are the custodians of great political traditions – the liberal tradition of smaller government, greater freedom, lower taxes, the conservative tradition of support for families, small business and values and institutions that have stood the test of time, but above all else we are patriots. We want to make our country as strong and as good as it possibly can be, based on the wonderful achievements we already have to our name."
Over to you, Scotty. Impress me.

LeeToRainesToRoach said:He had an image issue and leftist media tore him apart. Although I wanted Dutton, with his undertaker's countenance he probably would've gone the same way.
MD Jazz said:You can't be serious Abbott just had an image issue? He did nothing but white ant the minute he was replaced. A statesman? Please. He's no better than the likes of Rudd in behaviour.

Baloo said:Abbott was a joke. He's a good opposition leader because all he focuses on is making life as hard as possible for the government, but as PM he was easily our worst ever.

Tagomi said:One of the Lib members said that Turnbull has just given these guys olive branch after olive branch, with the end result they stuck it up his arse. For all his faults I think Turnbull is a talented man - but he squandered that talent absolutely in his term as PM. Purely focused on staying in power and as a result of appeasing the far Right got almost nothing done.
Ian4 said:if Morrison had any credibility he would call an election to obtain his own mandate. This is exactly what Gillard and Rudd did when their party voted them in. Turnbull didn't do this of course, so I'm not holding my breath.
tigerman said:Rather than be wreckers if Abbott and Dutton aren't happy with the direction of the Liberal Party they should **** off and join their mate Cory Bernardi and his new Australian Conservatives party.
