    Tony Abbott’s close friend Catherine McGregor says he’s so ‘consumed’ by Malcolm Turnbull he won’t ‘shut up’ https://trib.al/oqSmBys  #qanda @catemc3273

        It's a good thing he wasn't so distracted when he was giving you all his support. Man/woman, friend/enemy, I wonder what you're next "change "will be

        All he did then was spend money and reduce income. Hardly the stuff of a balanced PM

        Granted he made some mistakes but stopping the boats and getting rid of the carbon tax alone puts him way in front. If you're looking for a "balanced PM, you may as well stay in bed on election day, given the two choices on display

        His stop the boats was just a tweeked Rudd thing. The carbon tax cost the budget.

        Big difference between rudd's "idea" and Abbott's action. The carbon tax was in with the rest of the climate change scam

        What absolute rubbish ! I take far more notice of what Tony Abbott says than Turnbull that's for sure ! Abbott has far more knowledge of voter issues than anyone else in the Liberal Party who seem to be far removed from Reality !

        #QandA Abbott should try forgiveness. Forgive Malcolm Turnbull, and beg Julia Gillard for forgiveness...
