They lost because they came up against 2 former colleagues who know how they operate behind the scenes. Simple as that.....plus it highlights just how inept Abbott is as a communicator when it comes to the crunch. The guy is just an intolerant right wing nutter who has no idea when it comes to negotiating.
His skills and personal demeanour were found wanting. Was always going to happen at some stage. Thank heavens it happened before he got to be PM of this nation.
