Have the feeling though that Abbott wont do much better
Libs need 'Lou' Costello to make a comeback as 'Bud' Abbott's sidekick.
Abbott & Costello always were good for a larf....

Costello would have made mince meat out of these amatuers at question time but alas we will never witness it
And this is probably one of the greatest failings of the Libs during Howard's later reign - the failure to achieve some sort of succession planning. (Of course, easy for me to say, and I will admit to not being a big fan of Mr Costello, but I can't help but wonder if today's Lib turmoil could have been avoided, or at least reduced a great deal?) All water under the bridge now though.
Every STRONG team goes through a re-building stage ,its just a process of finding and blooding new talent:
Turnbull and that useless smiling piece of crap ''HAPPY JOE'' can both join the Labor party and play with the ETS as much as they like
Don't laugh justjohn, Turnbull may well run with the Labor Party at the next election.
Well the looney Liberal right has got what it asked for...i can only hope Labor drive home the advantage with a DD election.
Timmy, there was an interview on "The World Today", ABC Radio, today with a Reader in Politics at one of the universities who has made a study of the Liberal Party. She was asked by the journalist "Who do you blame for the mess the Liberal Party is presently in?"And this is probably one of the greatest failings of the Libs during Howard's later reign - the failure to achieve some sort of succession planning.

Her reply: "Peter Costello".

Yes and it was the Liberal right that was responsible for that (Costello never having the numbers) and its the same people that are responsible for the current mess...every one seems to forget that Howard stayed in power for so long because of the so called "Howard battlers" lower middle class Labor/swing voters.
The Howard, Costello and Fischer/Anderson show Kept the loonys at the fringes and thus had broad appeal to disheartened labor/swing voters....The Abbot, Bishop and Joyce/Tuckey show has all the appeal of a non lubricated pineapple enema.
This thread is dead and buried and I don't know why ASF members continue to post. Turnbull is kaput. full stop.

She suggested he had absolutely let the party down by refusing to accept the leadership and it has been all downhill from there.
Like him or not, he was politically astute, and could return in any debate whatever was handed out from the other side.
I don't believe he will ever be back, though, and no doubt is congratulating himself on exiting when he did.
