Dep Speaker to boot Libs

Quote:

TONY Abbott faces his own potential political disaster today with Liberal MP and Deputy Speaker Peter Slipper threatening to resign and sit on the cross benches for the next two years over a local branch dispute.

Mr Slipper last night issued a statement threatening to resign from the Queensland Liberal National Party over a threatened challenge to the numbers in his outer Brisbane seat of Fisher.

His resignation would give Labor a two-seat buffer over the Coalition and cruel any chances Mr Abbott had of trying to overturn the Gillard minority government before the next election.

It is believed former Howard minister Mal Brough would challenge for the position of chair of Mr Slipper's federal division council

This can only help Labor, Slipper is already being touted as the speaker if anything happens with the Thomson affair, this will just make it easier. I hate being a smartass, Grin

. but I did tell you rightards last week that Slipper would jump ship if need be. Grin

Polarising right-winger: US on Abbott

BY BIANCA HALL

03 Sep, 2011 12:00 AM

Former US ambassador Robert McCallum reported to Washington that Tony Abbott was a ''polarising right-winger'' with a ''propensity for insensitivity and controversy'', leaked diplomatic cables show.
The cables, released by whistleblower site WikiLeaks this week, detail the Liberal Party's fortunes in 2007.

And they reveal a less than complimentary characterisation of the man who would become Opposition Leader.

On November 2, Mr McCallum described then health minister Mr Abbott as ''a capable performer with a sharp tongue but questionable judgment'', who had ''managed to halt the Government's momentum by insulting a wheelchair-bound asbestos victims-rights campaigner''. Mr McCallum added that this had come the day before Mr Abbott arrived late to a nationally-televised debate with Labor MP Nicola Roxon, at which Mr Abbott gave a ''testy'' performance.

On November 25, Mr McCallum updated the United States on the fight for the Liberal Party's leadership after Peter Costello announced he would not contest the position.

He described Mr Abbott as ''a quick-witted, ideological warrior who had a very poor campaign''.

''His insult of an asbestosis campaigner who is now on his deathbed showed very poor judgment on his part.''

He reserved a warmer assessment for deputy leader Julie Bishop.

''As deputy leader, Julie Bishop, intelligent, photogenic and a former successful barrister from Western Australia, would be a good match-up for incoming Labor deputy prime minister Julia Gillard.''

Mr McCallum also advised his American colleagues the man who became Opposition leader, Brendan Nelson, had such a good grasp of detail and was so acute that ''his nickname among other politicians is 'Rainman'''
