The Countdown - How Long Can Abbott Last? [View all]
The MSM seem to be slowly realising that social media - aka the people - are ignoring them and reporting their own version of current events. And the big one, ever since his truly disastrous, rocks-in-his-head announcement that he was making Britain's Prince Philip a knight of Australia, has been not if, but when, Tony Abbott will be removed as leader by his own party. Even the MSM are running with the story, and Rupert's minions are now turning on him.
Unfortunately for the country, whoever takes his place will still be stuck with an unsellable budget and a government that is seen by many people all over the world as hopelessly elitist, inhumane and completely out of touch.
The truth is, he never should have got to where he is. His rise in the party was due to John Howard's sponsorship, his taking the leadership was organised by RWNJ Nick Minchin, and his election was largely due to Murdoch's gutter press. This is a man who's been carried by others all his life, and at last, it seems he's been found out.
It's just a matter of how much longer he can defy the odds.
