Shallow piece at best and absolutely no relevance to the topic from my post.
If you read a little further down one of the comments almost nailed it;
"Joshua Kurlantzick’s piece is emotional advocacy, unworthy of CFR, and reflects the author’s bias. This is not a sound intelligence estimate of someone who even closely understands what has gone on in Australian politics. Mr Abbott has, in many respects, disappointed his followers, and those who know his intellect, humanity, and courage. But he has, apart from steps which have been politically scorned by a very leftwing Australian media, undertaken very real and concrete steps to reform the economic and strategic disaster his Government inherited from Labor’s two recent incompetent and, in many cases, legally criminal, leaders."
