Well, I'm sure there's a whole lot of discontent with the Liberal party out there in voter-land, right now. 😉

Discontent in the Liberal Party is rife.

What is the SA Senator going to do now, after TA dudded him over sub 'tenders' .? He won't be a happy chappy now.

Discontent in the Liberal Party - growing bigger everyday.

With apologies to "the Bard"

"Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of Londinium;
And all the clouds that lour’d upon our house
In the deep bosom of the election buried."

Glorious might be "pushing it", but in comparison to the discontent of the Circus days (sorry A3) the clouds that had lour’d upon our house of representatives could well be portrayed thus:

How long has the Coalition been in power now ? 500+ days ? When will this harking back to previous times finish ? A little bit OT too, it's discontent in the Liberal Party, not the Labor Party. You need some new material.

Discontent further developed by the sacking of Phil Ruddock as Chief Gov Whip, replaced by some non-entity, and the elevation of Abbott's acolyte Nikolich (one of Abbott's types, loyal to a fault, ex-military hard man lol) to a Whip position.

Disgraceful, vengeful and opportunistic behaviour by Abbott (not that I had much time for Ruddock, but he was treated abominably in this case). Sadly par for the course for Abbott - a bitter, vindictive man.

A whip-cracking Whip. What infantile Advisor-brain thought to "showcase his talent"?

He is, and he will set out to punish them all, without any idea that his behaviour will bring himself down.

Nikolic is a nasty type. He's one who walked out on the Closing the Gap speech a few days ago.

I've seen some vile facebook posts he's made to potential voters who dared to question him.

I worked with him (thankfully not for), he was an arrogant man then, and it appears that his sense of entitlement hasn't changed.

He'll go far in the LNP.

He moved to Tasmania before the last election preselections and immediately began to attack his way into office.

But who were the dissenters?

It is my understanding that it was a Secret Ballot.
