If Abbott gets removed from the leadership of the Coalition who will replace him?

[Lebbo73]

Then why are there rumours of unrest amongst the back benchers of the Coalition?

What unrest? All the unrest is coming from the Left!

If you believe that it is impossible for Abbott to be replaced before the next election that is your right but do not act like Abbott being replaced is impossible.

Abbott's worst polling is better that Turnbull's best.

As heartless as she appeared, she was a lawyer who was doing her job trying to get the best result for her clients. I wouldn't hold that against her.

Haha but I do. It was heartless so think you may be a tad kind here. She took the job on and helped a very wealthy company to behave unethically-she could have advised them to settle quickly, for instance. They were very much in the wrong after all.

Using all of the loopholes and bureaucracy available in the court system to stall cases until a litigant is dead, bankrupt or otherwise unable to continue a lawsuit is not illegal, but it is incredibly unethical.

To me that sort of practice is the worst example of a lawyer. It is the reason why so many good and ethical lawyers get a bad rap.

I don't think it is impossible. There is a difference between reality and what the Left want. You know that don't you?

Why do the left want it? Abbott is politically toxic and if the Libs keep him on as leader at the next election they'll get caned.

The unrest is coming from the people within the party who recognise this.

well, this will certainly cause some unrest. The Murdoch press has turned on the Abbott government.

The only way the coalition will change leaders would be if they're absolutely up s**t creek. In that case none of the boys club will want the job as being a complete lame duck PM. Time for a woman then. Julie Bishop it is.

 

[Maggie5]

Although leadership is a major problem for them, their policies stink and until they can change the public's perception of the party and policies, no good times ahead.

They can't easily change perceptions though as other than Turnbull their front bench is so much more right wing than it was under Howard. The Liberal Party are really lacking in the moderate right wing Cabinet members that used to be a regular part of the Liberal Party.

Well they are current flowing down dangerous rapids, getting close to heading onto last chance stream which splits into s**t creek or second chance river. Can't see Turnbull getting the nod from inside the party so leaves either Bishop or Morrison, my money would be on Bishop.

These ABC cuts could be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Especially if the ABC shuts the SA production studio which will annoy Pyne no end.

I'd like to add that it's worth looking at this petition of only to read the comments section.

Another huge gaffe by J.Bishop

She was photograph smiling ,when Abbott was caught out lying about the ABC cuts

So much for Pyne's pining

I mentioned a while back that if the ABC were touched people would react in a rather unsavoury way...I'd love to clobber that flog, Abbott.

Latham lost that election because he wanted to punish the working class who sent their kids to private schools.

Nup. Tassie and THAT handshake
