"You need Turnbull back for the Coalition to have a chance at the next election."

I wish you were right but the polls say otherwise. This government is so bad that even Abbott will smash them. And the ALP is tied to the Greens so have no hope of turning their fortunes around - Greens are popular with 10% of the electorate but unelectable to the other 90% and therein lies Gillard's problem.

As for cigarettes, the fact big tobacco is making such a big deal over this new packaging and making all kinds of threats suggests that it is good policy by Nicola Roxon. It's a shame Abbott can't give credit where it is due - it's not like he would have to do it often!
