Isn't that jumping to conclusions about Abbott?
Here's an article quoting what Abbott's neighbours think about him.

When it comes to policy, I would think he will have to toe the line with party policy. Turnball lost the leadership when he tried to run with his own ideas on ETS.
Tony has been in politics for a while and should know there is a certain discipline to leadership. If he does start running his own ship, I suspect his days would be numbered as leader.
But current labor and the potential of the greens to turn this country into a basket weaving country is far worse. It will be hell.Either way is going to provide a good laugh,Abbott unleashed would be something.
When Minchin and Nutt dont have there hands up his butt we will see the arrogance and lack of discipline return dont you worry about that as Joh would say!
Sails, I'm surprised that you are ignoring the old adage;
Don't argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
The thing that worries me most is if Labor gets in again:the Libs won't want to govern the country after them, as we will be so far in the red, what have we borrowed to date, and at what interest rate is it.

The last loan we paid off was at 17%, will not need any more loans again.I thought you were into borrowing?
Criticism of the Coalition's costings by one of the panelists was particularly scathing. This was on the basis of lost revenue from ditching the ALP's RRT but still counting tax cuts that flowed from it as savings.If you missed the "Insiders" this morning you didn't miss much, The panel was stacked with two Labor supporters and one Abbot critic.
I don't think I've ever seen a more passive, 'let her say whatever she wants' interview! She just ran off at the mouth about Tony Abbott with no interruption from Barrie Cassidy at all. Unbelievable.If you missed the "Insiders" this morning you didn't miss much, The panel was stacked with two Labor supporters and one Abbot critic.
The interview with Gillard by Barrie Cassidy was a farce. He let Gillard run off at the mouth with her usual waffle. You would have thought that after her stage mannered meeting with Rudd yesterday Cassidy could have asked some searching questions. But no, he let her take over the interview.
The saintly Mr Rudd having a personal strategy rather than nobly swallowing his humiliation for the good of the mighty Labor Party? You must be joking, Calliope, and completely maligning the motives of Messiah Rudd.I would like to have known what Cabinet job she offered Rudd. I can't imagine him joining the team without a firm offer.
Two on and one off, would be brutal at my age. I do admire your stamina, but the salary looks ok! Might be wrong but Smelly Terror could be on a similar roster also? Working hard for the country and keeping our miners going. Caught vision of Twiggy in a box at the MCG this weekend, catching the footy.Yeah you got to love WA 2 weeks on 1week off 180k a year and practically illiterate imagine what i could earn if i was as smart as you the mind boggles
My tip would be Foreign Minister, playing Downer to Gillard's Howard, in Rudd's mind anyway. Rudd mouldering away in a junior domestic ministry would be too destabilizing for Labor.Seriously, yep it will be Foreign Minister at the very least, perhaps Deputy PM? Move over Mr Swan. Could that happen?
Anyway feel free to come back on and let off some steam. I don't think think Calliope takes it too personally.

More on costings from the SMH,

He is pretending to pay for it by scrapping Labor’s 1 per cent cut to the company tax rate””a double counting exercise that has to be seen to be believed.
Where ?George Megalogenis from the Australian has been pointing out for awhile about the black hole in Liberal savings around $9 billion I believe.
Where ?
It was. He is saying the Coalition is claiming savings from scrapped programs linked to the Resources Rent Tax. It adds up provided the Coalition is not spending the proceeds of the RRT itself as obviously, there wouldn't be any.I thought that's what George said on the Insiders?
