I wondered what on earth is XYZ - I've never heard of it so I looked it up

looks like some weirdo right wing paper to me

What are the left so afraid of?

I doubt anyone ia afraid- no-one wants him back,

the thousands of messages of support he reckons he got might've come from Bill Shorten

I don't think they are afraid of him, I think they are ever hopeful that he will return as PM so that the ALP election chances will sky rocket back to pre Turnbull figures

I don't want him back either, not because he was a bad Prime minister but he changed so much from the easy going easy talking politician and was so constrained he became a caricature of himself.

I don't think he should still be hounded by the leftist press and what is the poll all about? another reason to pour hate on him.

The left have to move on.

[lurker172602]

So does he.

[debra9275]

everyone has moved on except for abbott- he loves the media attention and won't go away

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-09-29/barnes-tony-abbotts-every-utterance-is-being-used-against-him/...

from radio and TV interviews to articles he writes in The Australian.

word is he's had no job offers  and that's why the 'back-bench"uncertainty

[moonflyte]

Just tell me why he has to "go away".

"from the easy going easy talking politician"

I don't think this aptly describes a serial head kicker who has always been just that.

In that case why aren't you asking Bill Shorten to just "go away"? He's a back stabber, much worse than "just" a back bencher. 

He has every right to be where he is and I'm sorry for you that you feel aggrieved he's still there.

off topic, 

but as you've mentioned backstabbers

backstabbers- J Bishop C Pyne M Brough S Morrison

Shorten is the leader of the opposition, not a back bencher, so  no comparison

abbott is the leader of - nothing
