Tony Abbott was right once again., page-139

I agree with that.
The prospect of the "ferals" losing their seats must have them frequently changing their underpants !
They may very well capitulate/acquiesce if they can use Xenophon's proposed minor amendments as an excuse (if they are palatable to Turnbull et al).
So we may not be going to the polls until Oct/Nov? Will that be good for Turnbull? Will it give him more time to be on message about the future, or will it expose him to further ridicule from which he will have difficulty recovering?
Shorten as PM? Don't even think of it! A potential horror story too nightmarish to consider!
