Thanks to Abbott, George Bush is looking great in comparison. You need a true leader to sell a budget like this - someone with charisma and is respected across both left and right wings of the nation. Abbott is the worst person in the liberal party for this job, he has zero charisma, and he is hated vy people outside of Liberal party, and is not even respected by the left wing of his own party (only beat Turnbull by 1 vote last time). Only Turnbull would have a chance to pull something like this through.
