I went back trying to find the thread when he first became leader in 2009 - we all said the same thing. Mocked derisively when he proclaimed himself a man of the people or some such.

While he is protected by Rupert Murdoch and the rest of the MSM - including the hopelessly biased ABC - he will not self destruct. He will fuck up but Murdoch's minions either won't pursue it ala Ashbygate or report it on page 17 or turn it back on Labor.
