Malcolm Turnbull needs to let the gutter politics being played out by Andrew Bolt and his friend reveal itself in all its grubby detail.
Although I disagree with what's being done with the rollout of the NBN it's increasingly apparent that the most competent minister in Abbott's unstable government is Turnbull and by a very long way.
Abbott himself is already seen overseas as the worst national leader on Earth and increasingly scorned and mistrusted even by the Australians who elected him just 9 months ago.
Just as Ted Baillieu gave way in Victoria once the writing on the wall became crystal clear and oh so bold, so too will Abbott - though in HIS case HE will have to be dragged kicking others and screaming abuse and blame at everyone except HIMself.
