All this swill from the Tories now - the government is illegitimate. What a load of tosh. It's precisely the same process Abbott was prepared to go through to try and secure government, and it didn't fall their way so now they're out and about whinging. It's a ****ing joke. If they can cause the government to lose a no confidence motion then he can have a go.
Good luck to him if he can. Good luck to him too if they sit and oppose every single thing that gets put up, because people will see straight through it. It'll be like a mass outbreak of Christopher Pynes everywhere.
Anyone who thinks it is only the Labor side who have to play this very carefully is seriously mistaken. If the opposition is seen to be being deliberately obstructionist then they'll pay for that as much as the government will if it tries to egregiously manipulate the situation for its own ends.
