Kicking Abbott out would be disastrous for the Labor Party. At present Labor have some of the best election win campaigners going around ie Abbott, Hockey,Dutton, Whiney , Hunt Brandis, Abetz and just so many others that Labor members won't have to campaign at all

Here we have the left salivating to bring down a 1st term PM just like the dysfunction and chaos we were subjected to with Gillard and Rudd.

6 years of total and complete inward navel gazing, talking about themselves and completely ignoring whatever reason they were elected.

Labor destroyed itself and here we have the left wanting to go back there.

It's just a Labor Chess move.

Abbott can stare them down.

Except that none of these "rumours" came from the ALP, it was rupert murdochs daily telegraph who broke this story last Friday - a paper called the "govt gazette" by LNP ministers

Reports suggest the communications minister may move this week because a three-week recess will follow the Canning by-election on Saturday.

That would give Mr Abbott the chance to call a snap double dissolution, betting he can out-campaign Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, win the election and head off any challenge.

If a challenge does occur, it will be the second against Mr Abbott since February.

Mr Abbott won the last party room ballot by a single vote.

The Canning by-election has put new pressure on Mr Abbott's leadership.

Two polls, a News Corp Galaxy poll and a Fairfax/Ipsos poll, predicted a 10 per cent swing, two-party preferred, against the government on Saturday.

"The swing is not enough to unseat the Liberals in Canning, which is held with a 12 per cent margin, but strengthens the anti-Abbott push."

It's game on, is all.

I wonder whether there would be much of a swing against the Libs anyway. Don Randall was a very well respected man and voters might see it as a slap in the face.

I don't think how people feel about Tony Abbott is going to have much to do with this by-election

I certainly hope so, Abbott is the best thing Labor have going for them at the moment, they are a shoo in at the next election with him at the helm. I don't think it is a Labor chess move, more like an Uncle Rupert directive.
