He can be both.Also, in same article, Antimo Iannella thinks State Opposition Leader, Stephen Marshall, is a Redlegs supporter, which Im fairly sure is incorrect, given previous previous articles pointing out he's a PAFC supporter.
So basically he is Pope Benedict, not Pope Francis.Downer on what sort of PM he thinks Abbott will be. With about 53% of the vote, should be what most Australians would prefer.

Alexander Downer: As Prime Minister of Australia, Tony Abbott will be true conservative in every sense
My guess is there will be some surprises in the new ministry. But as prime minister, Tony Abbott will be a conventional conservative. He will be cautious and pragmatic not zealous and reckless.
This will manifest itself in a number of ways. For a start, Abbott will work very closely with the public service. He will listen to their advice, he will check things with them and new proposals will be considered and costed before announcements are made. So government will work more slowly and cautiously than the breathtaking initiative a day style of the Rudd/Gillard/Rudd government. Abbott will be in a phrase an administrative conservative. He'll even start meetings on time so if you go to see him, don't be late!
Secondly, Tony Abbott is no economic radical. He will be an economic pragmatist unlike John Howard and his key Cabinet allies who could be described as economic liberals or rationalists. Abbott will gradually reduce the deficit and pay down debt but there will be no radical spending cuts - as Kevin Rudd claimed during the election campaign. Nor for that matter will there be radical reform of the industrial relations system. Work Choices won't be brought back. You may not know this, but the two members of the Howard Cabinet who were the least enthusiastic about Work Choices were Abbott and Kevin Andrews.
(further down)
And finally Tony Abbott will be a low profile PM. All that Twitter, Facebook, daily press conference stuff will go. Ministers will do most of the talking. The prime minister will think, read and plan.

Regardless, he's more to the left than most Liberals & probably won't be as bad as some people think.

At least give him a chance to do his thing, he has a 3 year contract, then it's either renewed or delisted, trading is not an option.
