Malcolm is a smily happy person. He should be: he has lots of cash. Not as much as Gina or James, but enough to be comfortable in his old age. But he smiles a lot. He decided to become numero uno in this country, and smiles are a big factor in telling the public you're a nice bloke. 

Running the country, mind you, is a stressful job, unless you are Tony Abbott guided by the hand of Peta. Without Peta, Tony would have been useless, unable to get elected. Mind you once elected, he was still useless. His resumé reads like a catastrophe report:

I got rid of the carbon tax — meaning the world is heading faster towards global warming destruction...

I stopped the boats — meaning that now Australia is considered like a leper colony after having breached many international agreements and maritime laws...

I... Well it's hard to know what's next. Tony tried to destroy the ABC, education, health. He destroyed sciences and manufacture. And mining has gone down the tube because of the Chinese whom he used as an ATM machine.

And Malcolm is not too fussed about the catastrophe. His cash is on a smaller island than yours and he has lot more than you will ever get. On top of this he seems to have lost the plot. Well to say the least he never had a plot to loose. His NBN is atrocious. His reactivity is a bit as if he was absent... smiling like an angel syndromed kid...

A bit of a nightmare really...

Tony Abbott has made it very clear in the past week that he's not going anywhere, which means Malcolm Turnbull can't expect any clear air - now, or even after an election, writes Mungo MacCallum.

When US president Lyndon Baines Johnson was reviewing the reappointment of his adversary, the FBI chief J Edgar Hoover, LBJ opined: "It is probably better to have the son of a bitch inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in."

Malcolm Turnbull would undoubtedly prefer Tony Abbott not to urinate anywhere; indeed, the Prime Minister would prefer his predecessor not to do anything much at all. But the reality is that Abbott remains defiantly inside the tent, pissing out, in, and in every direction.

His political incontinence is a clear denial of his undertaking of no sniping, no undermining, no wrecking; but clearly Abbott regards the need to defend his legacy, as he calls it, as the overriding imperative. His promises, like so many of those proffered when in office, have become inoperative.
