One of our correspondents,a keen observer of Queensland politics, predicts that Federal Coalition leader ,Tony Abbott, could be removed in similar fashion to that of Kevin Rudd if he persists to act like a rampaging Hollwood championship wrestler . He bases this on the quick demise of the former Queensland Leader of the Opposition , Lawrence Springborg , after he failed to win the 2009 election which saw Anna Bligh elected premier .
A veteran of the Queensland tag wrestling-head and groin kicking school of politics , Springborg overplayed the “ferocious” opposition role during the 2009 state election , especially in respect of the oil pollution episode , and turned many people off , nevertheless taking 10 seats from the government.
With Anna Bligh now under serious attack and internal bickering growing within the Queensland Liberal Nationals,likely to see the removal of its hapless leader, John-Paul Langbroek , Springborg is again resorting to his strident old self, in the process sounding remarkably like Abbott- peas in a pod of killer whales .
Our Sunshine State pollie Wally watcher says for aggressive Abbott to survive as leader , he desperately needs to engineer or have created through some unforeseen circumstance an early return to the ballot box in the belief that the Coalition will win.
THE LONGER ABBOTT CONTINUES WITH HIS BOMBAST , ATTACKING THE MINORITY GOVERNMENT, PAINTING THE GREENS AS WORSE THAN THE BUBONIC PLAGUE, AN IRKSOME LINE TAKEN UP BY SO MANY OF HIS ACOLYTES , THE MORE PEOPLE WILL BE TURNED OFF.
If the Gillard government looks like surviving for a reasonable time, the Coalition , it is suggested, would be forced to the inevitable conclusion that Abbott would not be a certain winner in the gruelling next Tour de Australie on a bicycle with over inflated tyres , despite a course of strawberry flavoured growth hormones .
Therefore , the only presentable member of the Coalition with a favourable public profile (itself a telling fact about the lack of talent ) , Malcolm Turnbull , could do a Lazarus, which would require a quadruple bypass in his case because of the snarky old guard in the Libs.
