He should have mentioned some of those and left out "a fit of absent-mindedness" about voters electing Labor.

I heard there aren't any labor voters left.

Knights, leave scheme go in Abbott reboot

Mr Abbott said he also had the confidence of his party room, which meets next week when parliament returns.

In a message directed to wavering MPs, he said any leadership change should be in the hands of voters.

"It's the people that hire and frankly it's the people that should fire," he said.

Treasurer Joe Hockey, who sat at Mr Abbott's table for the speech and would lose his job in the event of a leadership change, called on Liberal MPs to stop focusing on themselves.

"Any talk other than jobs, families and small business is a complete waste of time," Mr Hockey said.

Another potential leadership contender, Malcolm Turnbull, brushed off questions, saying he would be concentrating on the prime minister's speech.

Nationals leader Warren Truss said dropping the paid parental leave scheme and replacing it with a revamped childcare and family benefits system was the right call.

"It was expensive and ... and we've got difficult economic circumstances, so some things that might in themselves be good are not affordable at this time."

Mr Abbott declined to go into detail as to how the new families package would work, but flagged it would involve merging the various types of payments, keeping costs down and putting more money into the pockets of parents.

The prime minister also revealed a new small business jobs package, including a tax cut of at least 1.5 per cent, would be released in coming months.

Coalition MPs have been promised greater access to ministers and a bigger say in policy decisions.

And now for a word from the sour grapes gallery:

Labor leader Bill Shorten said Mr Abbott had still failed to concede the "unfair" budget, including the Medicare co-payment and university deregulation, was the government's key problem.

"We heard a desperate speech from a politically drowning man aimed at pleasing his MPs but nothing for Australian families," he said.

Independent senator Nick Xenophon said Mr Abbott remained in "dire straits" with his backbench.

"It's a case of too little too late," he said.

Other highlights included Abbott discovering the word “journey” for the first time in his life, and cramming it into his replies so often he sounded like a HSC English question circa 2008. “We’re on a journey. We are on a journey, the journey to build a better Australia. It’s the only journey worth coming on! And we have to succeed, we just have to succeed for our country’s sake,” Abbott said, sounding less like a sitting Prime Minister and more like a guy who ate some mushrooms he found in the dirt at Woodford. “Every one of us are on a journey.” Right on, Tone.

I take it you didn't see the speech?

It was nothing but a rerun of every other speech he's made during the past 3 years, with the exception of the bit about the absent mindedness of voters when they make the mistake of voting Labor.
