who are still being generally kind to Abbott and his ministers. Mark Scott might as well go on the attack - the ABC is doomed under this mob, so he might as well go down fighting.
Even so, the polls suggest that a lot of people have woken up to Abbott, and I hope the slide continues. But if his parliamentary colleagues do decide to replace him, who would they choose? Even Turnbull has blown a lot of his cred by following the Abbott line faithfully, and any of the others are too disliked to have any chance of winning an election. Some people think Morrison is positioning himself - can you imagine?
One good thing going for Labor is the wealth of talent on the Opposition benches - not just those who are already ion the Opposition frontline, but some promising younger people too, like Richard Marles, Mark Butler, Jason Clare, Ed Husic, Alannah McTiernan, Nick Champion - I think Labor will have no trouble in presenting a really strong PM and Cabinet when they're re-elected. Pity we're stuck with Shorten at the moment - I guess Labor is wary of changing leaders even in Opposition, but if they replaced him with Tony Burke or Albo, I think Abbott's figures would be even worse than they are now.
