Imo, the quote below says it all ... It's a balanced and fair assessment imo ... read all 3 paragraphs to the end.
Since Malcolm Turnbull ascended to the leadership, Tony Abbott, his remaining acolytes, assorted fogeys and losers have treated themselves to one long dummy spit, as if they were bigger and better than the party they were privileged to represent or that they purport to support.
Turnbull has made his mistakes in the job — and which prime minister has not, certainly in the early stages — but they are neither as grave nor as numerous or as costly in the longer term as the hyperventilating Del-Cons assert. However, the behaviour of those thrown off the gravy train, or placed outside whispering distance from the PM’s shell-like, has been truly appalling....
The Abbottophiles have gorged on revenge almost from day one of Turnbull’s leadership, seeking to cast it as somehow illegitimate. Their sniping, wrecking and undermining has undoubtedly had an impact on the government’s standing. Nevertheless, their behaviour would lack bite, and their delight in exercising their newly found free will lessened, if the government’s performance was blemish-free. It has not been.
