54 to 44 votes - is this decisive enough ??

I was amazed at the time line of the challenge, it all happened so quickly: Turnbull called the press conference to announce his challenge for the leadership at around 3pm?, and then a chain of actions resulting in Abbott calling for the party room vote to take place at around 9.15pm ? and then 20 min later it was all over. So the whole process only took 6-7 hours.

Did Abbott made the wrong decision by calling an early ballot, if he would have taking a couple more days, will the outcome be a lot closer or perhaps he would even survive ?

You have to give credit where credit is due, the numbers men behind Turnbull's camp was spot on, and their timing is impeccable !! I hope this will all translate into better economic management of the country !! Scott Morrison seems to be odds on to take over as Treasurer and judging on past performances, he should do a much better job than fat Joe !

I think one of the biggest loser in this coup is Bill Shorten, his chances of leading the Labour Party to the next election is now cricket score odds !!


Mike Baird for Canberra !! anyone ?
