    Truss: my coalition agreement is with Tony Abbott

    You’d expect these guys out: they are Abbott’s Praetorian guard.
    You’d also expect Nationals leader Warren Truss to speak up for Tony. He’s just met that expectation.
    Warren Truss:
    We welcome his continuing commitment to work with the Nationals on matters of importance, particularly to regional Australia. My Coalition agreement is with Tony Abbott. While the leadership is a choice for the Liberals, any change would require a new Coalition agreement and a new message of support to the Governor-General from me. It’s been a tough couple of years in government, and no-one said it was going to be easy.
    The Coalition has worked constructively to deliver better government for all Australians. Tony Abbott has been a very inclusive leader and we’ve achieved a great deal together. The progress and the processes of government have been constructive and well organised. The Nationals have remained steadfast and united in delivering our agenda with new gains for regional Australia, and we want that to continue into the future.
