Eagle, your post shows how little u actually knew about Abbot.
And since ur obviously surprised that there my be leaks, I will give you hint as to why. The "popular" PM only had slightly more than half who supported him. The "popular" PM is considered smug, pompous, arrogant and disloyal all traits that aren't going to endear himself to the nearly half that didn't support him.
It's interesting, I spoke to a journo mate who went to school with him. He said that Turnball was an arrogant turd at school. Looks like things haven't changed.
What, you think all is sweet now?? You are naive if u think that. Then again, the public couldn't see the really decent bloke Abbott was so why shoukd they see the pompous tool in office now.
