Sounds like you want to destroy the Liberal Party Hairy!

The reality is that Abbott was overwhelmingly booted, firstly by a majority of Liberal MPs and subsequently by the good people of Warringah. They have imo exorcised a barnacle that was eating away at the coalition for some time.

Morrison would imo have known that Abbott was in strife this election and could have used his popularity to help Abbott survive but from all accounts steered clear of Warringah. After all its basically Morrisons popularity that got them over the line. Turnbull on the other hand took a softer approach and personally intervened to save Abbott at the 2016 election. It was Turnbull's biggest mistake! Had he allowed Abbott to sink in 2016, Malcolm Turnbull may not have been knifed and may have won this election by an even larger margin.

Unfortunately for Abbott the truth is not on his side. His own Party removed him as PM and his electorate have followed up and gave him his marching orders. He may have managed to undermine Turnbull but at least Turnbull left with some dignity and did not suffer the indignity now suffered by Abbott by losing an extremely safe Liberal seat. In contrast most of the people in the Wentworth electorate thought highly of Malcolm and were disgusted with Abbott and those others that instigated the coup, so much so that in protest they ditched the Liberal candidate.

TURNBULL CONGRATULATES MORRISON FOR A WIN HE HATED

Before then, he'd refused to help Dave Sharma win back Turnbull's former seat (Sharma succeeded), he'd backed Liberal turncoat Julia Banks (she failed to beat Health Minister Greg Hunt), and had tweeted support for more action on global warming (the voters said no).
There will be some grieving in Turnbull Manor.
Meanwhile, son Alex Turnbull, who helped Banks and other anti-Liberal candidates, has deleted the Twitter account he used frenetically during the campaign to attack Liberals such as Andrew Hastie (he won), Greg Hunt (he won), Peter Dutton (he won) and Josh Frydenberg (he won).
He seems to have reopened a new one with just 13 tweets.
It seems that Alex can dish it out on Twitter, but cannot take it.
Let that be the political end of a family that nearly destroyed the Liberals.
