i guess you were too busy counting

the flags during his press conference.

Tony Abbott intends to stay in Federal Parliament, most likely on the backbench, after losing the prime ministership to his longtime rival Malcolm Turnbull.

The ABC understands the former leader does not want to trigger a by-election in his safe Sydney seat of Warringah.

Mr Abbott has not been seen in the House of Representatives since losing the leadership on Monday night.

Instead, he has been busy taking calls from foreign leaders including United States president Barack Obama, New Zealand prime minister John Key and the United Kingdom's David Cameron.

"My intention is to remain in the Parliament," Mr Abbott said.

"It's been a tumultuous week and I now intend to spend some time with my family to think about the future."

The former prime minister has been finalising his affairs and preparing to leave his office tomorrow after being dumped in the Liberal Party ballot on Monday.

Last night, Mr Abbott told The Australian: “It’s been a tumultuous week and I now intend to spend some time with my family to think about the future, but my intention is to remain in the parliament.”

It is unlikely he will come into the chamber until the middle of next month when parliament resumes after a three-week break and the Canning by-election.

Mr Abbott has been finalising his office work and taking calls from global leaders.

I think that someone needs tell Peta Credlin to let it go and move forward. It must be frustrating for the PM not to have access to the pM's office.

I have a feeling that Abbott thinks so much of his own importance that he will do a Rudd.  Wait until he sees an opportunity to have a tilt at the top job again.  Otherwise why would he hang around?  So unliked by most.

I say this because he apparently wanted to be PM from childhood, and, like Rudd, seems to be shocked and angry that his "born-to-rule" position he realised has been savagely taken away.  He said there will be no repercussions, but I don't believe it.  He already said in his speech that others were to blame.

Someone said it was "a beautiful speech". 

hahaha       Perhaps, like movie cameras, they have a filter on their TV set.

Atleast Rudd returned to work! there he is sitting on the back bench in the pic above, he had the kahunas to show up

but where was tone?

sobbin under the blankets!

[polksaladallie]

Did anyone see Newman (ex-Qld premier) last night?  Same.  He blames the opposition and the press for his losing office.

Same profound arrogance.  A Liberal trait?

Anyone ever heard the
