Tony Abbott
Another blow for Malcolm Turnbull:
MALCOLM Turnbull’s leadership is about to be thrown back into turmoil with the resignation of frontbencher, Tony Abbott.
Mr Abbott is expected to announce his resignation from the frontbench this afternoon to allow him to vote against the Rudd Government’s ETS.
Other Ministerial resignations may follow and trigger another Liberal party room meeting to challenge Mr Turnbull’s leadership.
It is likely that Liberal Senate Leader Nick Minchin will vote against the CPRS bill in the Senate and means that he too has to resign from the frontbench.
Mr Abbott’s resignation will throw the Liberals into further chaos and bring fresh doubt as to whether the CPRS bill will pass the Senate.
At least some in the Liberal party still have principles. Remember them?
It ain’t over yet.
