    Can I suggest all rather moot stuff,hows hockeys budget going,lol.
    The writing is on the wall,abbotts terminal.
    If and when he gets knifed ,their on their collective way to the crap heap.
    They will have broken promises,they will have changed leaders,it has been a case of one bad government,replacing another bad government.

    "Do you know what is more poisonous than failure in war or politics?" the Borgia Pope asks his son rhetorically, "Ridicule!"

    It is a lesson our monarchist prime minister and former student of the church of Rome, might well consider. Already vulnerable over his idiosyncratic revival of British imperial honours - itself a captain's call from a 2014 heavy with poor judgment calls - Abbott can ill-afford to alienate his colleagues right now.
    Yet his bizarre selection of the husband of the British monarch for Australia's top civic award has done just that.

    Ridicule abounds. His own MPs are variously bemused and appalled. One minister offering the simple, "I'm speechless" as a marker of incredulity.
    Words such as crazy, nutty, and needlessly provocative were also used. An MP from the conservative right of the party in Mr Abbott's home state, predicted it would spark fresh questioning of the Prime Minister's suitability for the job.
