Lmao wtf, why the hell would you chose the minister who has been panned in both his portfolios, and literally was just raising eyebrows with an idiotic gaffe? If I was a tinfoil hatter, I'd say Abbott is working with Malcolm secretly, trying to lose and bringing down all the deadwood with him to leave the Mal with less dim ministers

Edit

People saying dutton is ruling himself out, although he is supporting Team Tones

The SMH is now reporting that Morrison is backing Turnbull.  Are they behind, or was there bad reporting earlier?

Yes ABC said Morrison is backing Abbott.

Has Pyne made a comment? He's an interesting one. Moderate wet, so far quite loyalist, but one of the more endangered ministers under current polls.

Well, Turnbull wouldn't do it unless he thought he could win, right? Would Abbott still go if he (Abbott) wins by, say, 5 votes?

We haven't heard from anyone who actually matters.
- Pyne
- Robb
- Hunt
- Frydenberg - Abbott
- Brandis
- Ley
etc etc

Nope! Cormann unequivocally supports Abbott. Sinodinos seems to be gunning hard for a plum job in a Turnbull admin.

The vote will happen at 9:15pm... for God's sake, you have to assume if they were at ALL confident in their numbers, they would have called the spill much earlier.

Good Lord, Abbott really, really lacks self-awareness, doesn't he?

What are everyone's predictions?

I'll say Turnbull 58/Abbott 44.

Apparently, the number is 100 99 - my feeling is...

Turnbull - 56
Abbott - 43

Didn't notice this thread.

Anyway this is the last thing I said in the Australia thread

Turnbull walks in with Wyatt Roy, Mal Brough, Arthur Sinodinos, Mitch Fifield, Scott Ryan and Peter Hendy.

Abbott walks in flanked by what appears to be the majority of his supporters.

Seems crazy that the leader of a party, and the Prime Minister can get couped in a simple vote



Maggie agrees!

Great... hope Turncoatbull loses the next election, the Liberals really need to rebuild! The fact that we're stuck with him as PM for another year makes me shudder!
