Queensland Election drubbing update…
The ALP were routed in Queensland’s 2012 election with only a rump of 7 members returned. Tonight’s stunning turnaround will see them take at least 36 seats from Campbell Newman’s LNP government and consign him to history.
During the ABC coverage of the election result…
Question to Jane Prentice, federal Liberal member for Ryan (in Queensland):
“Is Tony Abbott the man to lead the Liberals to the next federal election?”
Her answer: “Well that’s the discussion, isn’t it. We need to look at where we’re going…” She went on to suggest that Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s speech to the National Press Club, next week, will be his last chance.
When a member of Abbott’s team openly talks about a leadership change in such an extraordinarily frank and open way, that generally means that party discipline has completely broken down.
Federal Liberal members will be in a flagellating screaming panic tonight. And tomorrow the phones will be smoking hot as they scramble to put as much distance as they can between themselves and Abbott and Deputy Heartless Joe Hockey.
I’m so looking forward to the bloodbath… Abbott and Hockey will be gone in 3 weeks.
You know you want to say it…
