“I could be PM again,” says Tony Abbott.

“I’m a well known back bencher. It’s logical therefore that I could be leader again,” he said with a tone that wasn’t threatening, and yet somehow it was…

He said this two days ago. The Liberals today then had an unscheduled party room meeting on the matter of making it more difficult for leadership spills to remove sitting Prime Ministers.

“Just hear me out…” he said as everyone filed into the party room. “Think about how good I was… imagine me being leader again and running the country like the good old times.” Everyone started shuffling into the room faster with a new found sense of urgency.
