    The Bishop saga comes back to this: Howard had good judgment about political talent. And he knew Bishop had zilch. Abbott ignored that.

        The Speaker's resignation reflects a government that is in chaos. The Govt has lost its way, lost its majority and now lost its speaker.

        @BernardKeane @aussieguy48 Abbott surrounds himself with mediocre individuals so that he's not constantly reminded of his own inadequacies.

        @BernardKeane @HooncheeW Abbott probably knew she would be a biased speaker which suited him down to the ground.

        @BernardKeane speaker's chair gave her what she had the numbers for (status) but kept her from cabinet. Seemed astute at the time...
