They blame Abbott now for dirty politics with Thomson - the truth is the dirty one here was Gillard for protecting him, because she new with a minority government, to exploit Thomson for his fraud would mean a by election in his seat, which the Libs will definitely win, and then hand power to them.
i also do not agree that they (Libs) will be the most hated government after they win -- you will never find another government in our lifetime more hated than Gillard's reign (they knived a sitting and elected PM in Rudd -- so split their own vote and support base themselves), they renegged on promises with Wilkie (so lost his confidence), and of course the Lib-National voters will hate her and her party anyway!
Bottom line, Thomson is a fraudster & liar and therefore needs to be exposed and should not hold public office. Gillard is accountable for trying to protect him, to cling onto government. Highly unethical, but Gillard will never be recorded as a highly moralistic politician.
