Australia has a new leader of the opposition - and therefore a new potential Prime Minister. Outgoing leader Malcolm Turnbull lost his position as leader because of the controversial Emissions Trading Scheme legislation that he was going to help the Government pass.

What will follow fellow Aussies? And is Tony Abbott the right man for the job?

I thought Joe Hockey would be in like Flynn. Tony Abbott's a bit dull. In any case, you can't have Abbott without Costello. :P



Personally I prefer Kevin 07.

Dull is certainly something Tony Abbott is not. He's regarded as the Liberal Parties chief head-kicker. Joe Hockey is always good for a laugh though.

Personally I prefer Kevin 07.

Don't start me on Kevin, please. :rolleyes:

Ha. :D

Tony Abbott is as exciting as watching the grass grow.

I'm not saying I would vote for Abbott just that I wouldn't vote for a PM who'd be better as a diplomat than someone who leads a country.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. :P
