Malcolm is really quite normal in comparison to Abbott, he blatantly criticised Abbott at my daughters school recently when questioned about a range of topics. This has been on the cards for a long time.

For example, the children asked him about same sex marriage and the knights and dames business and he scoffed at Abbotts attitude that it was last century and very old fashioned, My daughter came home from school really liking him because he stayed and answered every single question until everything was exhausted.

Nobody could be worse than Abbott so even though this is terrible for Labor we have more of a humanist and he will win the spill.

omg!!!!   what was he thinking??

that was a really bizarre press conference 

[j*oono]

Bluecat, I thought you were saying that Shorten is being dumped too.

Now would be good timing 😄

Bill Shorten holding press conference just to say he doesn't know what Abbott has said but he supports the Prime Minister 100%.

lol

Lol. I think that would be a good thing to happen, too. Turnbull has the gift of the gab and will appeal to those Liberal voters who were disillusioned by Abbott, and, therefore, could see the Libs returned to power at the next election. I don't mind Shorten but he does have a lot of detractors and there are others who I think would be better as ALP leader.

I hope that Richard DiNatale makes a speech on 24, too.

[Looks like its a two flag affair for Abbott's upcoming press conference.]
