Anyway Lapdog back on earth and current....Reality is that Tony is holding up a motley crew of perhaps poor Lib shadow ministers. Abbott has grown exponentially since the days that some love to quote. The discipline, continuity and togetherness shown by the Libs in the past 3-4 years has been astonishing. I like Joe but he gets caught too often. Bishop seems a bit lightweight. Pyne is fantastic, possibly the best headkicker of all time. Morrison Pfft Malcolm is a party unto himself.
Abbott is the glue that holds it together.
And even if I wasn't one eyed I would find it hard to relate to a pasty nerd I would usually have no time for. Abbott is a lot more conservatibe than me, but I'd have a beer with the bloke.
