Ballot 61 to 39 in favour of not having a spill.

Abbott has repeatedly said he would be more consultative only to pull out another "captains pick". Maybe this will be a wake up call but it's hard for anyone to change their true personality

I know it was from the SMH, it said so at the bottom.

I had already read the article.

Hey, she set the criteria over how Abbott needed to win, and he did so convincingly.

She just doesn't want to except it was that way.

Do you think it's at all telling that abbott is not holding a press conference about this mornings outcome?  Could it be because he can't be trusted to speak off the cuff?
