Time for Abbott to Change his Frontbench

The bleating coming from the Liberals that the Government is illegitimate is rubbish.

The ALP with some help from Independents has a majority - it's as simple as that.

Of course, Australia under an Abbott coalition - with the Nationals - would have been a reactionary Right Wing anti worker party and its's first act would be to return to the Howard Work Places hated legislation. Eric Abetz belled that cat during the campaign.

And it's not beyond the realms of reality that an Abbott Goverment would march backwards and reinstate the titles of the Order of Australia, something even that arch monarchist John Howard didn't contemplate.

Abbott is in the thrall of the ridiculous Professor David Flint and Australians for Constitutional Monarchy, whose clarion call is for us to be a pale imitation of Great Britain.

But leaving all that aside, Tony Abbott needs to rid the dead wood from his shadow ministry.

The list is long and includes: Kevin Andrews, Bronwyn Bishop, Sophie Mirabella, Phillip Ruddock, Peter Dutton, Julie Bishop, Corny Bernardi - all yesterday's people, all seriously Right.

One of the bleats coming from the Conservatives is that Labor is controlled by "faceless" people.

And the Liberals aren't?

Give me a break.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that Hugh Morgan would be setting Workplace Relations legislation, Andrew Bolt 's take immigration in general and Mulims in particular would be turned into law. Michael Kroger would personally vet all candidates for pre election and unless they agreed with his own"standards"they wouldn't have a chance in hell.

George Pell's take on education and medicine would be taken seriously.

The upper end of Collins Street and the Right of academia would be the gurus of Abbott's choice.

That's not the kind of Australia we want. Not from the faceless men of the Right.

We came close to an Abbott Australia - thankfully four men stopped that from happening.
