Mr Abbott has advised Mr Bernardi and others like minded to GET OFF THE POTTY and stay within the LNP tent.
It is great advice and comes from a person with great concern for Australia's future.
It is the policy of those opposed to the current LNP govt in Canberra to DIVIDE AND THEN CONQUER.
Mr Abbott;s advice comes at a timely time. New Year.

He has reminded the MPs that..............."He has also counselled MPs that they owe the Liberal Party “respect and loyalty”, saying none of them would have been elected without the backing of the organisation."

Tony Abbott has urged his “rebellious” conservative colleagues in the Coalition to “stay and fight” in the Liberal Party, warning that it is up to MPs to “fix it, not to leave it” if they are unhappy with the government’s direction.
Arguing it would be a “catastrophic mistake” to abandon the party, the former prime minister and conservative figurehead said that if any of his fellow MPs left the Liberals, it would deliver Labor “at least two terms” in government.
He has also counselled MPs that they owe the Liberal Party “respect and loyalty”, saying none of them would have been elected without the backing of the organisation.
“We don’t owe the party slavish obedience but we certainly owe it respect and loyalty,” Mr Abbott writes in the The Australian today.
“That’s what John Howard used to say and it’s certainly what I believe. If we think the party is headed in the wrong direction or is making a big mistake, our duty is to try to fix it, not to leave it.”

"Loyalty" ,something Turnbull knows nothing about.

Abbott can see Turnbull is handing it to Shorten.
