I don't have any inside knowledge, but I've always had the impression that Credlin was the one who got Abbott elected. In the lead up to the election he stayed on message and wasn't allowed to deviate in any way. He was kept in controlled situations with the media at all times. It was ugly, but it was effective. You can't govern like that, but Tony is a loose cannon when you let him off the leash. Similarly, Credlin appears have no other way of doing things. She's also trying to micro-manage the rest of cabinet. You just can't do that.Contra, as always, on the money.
Nothing about this Govt. is as on the nose as the Loughnane / Credlin piece.
