Front page of some paper, I didn't pay enough attention, has a headline about Bishop rebuking Abbott. Taking the decision about a chaperone to Peru Climate Summit to cabinet to get it over turned. It's a long bow, but what does this mean for Kevin Rudd's leadership ambitions?

Yeah, the media really has been trying to prop up Bishop these last few days. Which is weird given the treatment they gave Gillard in comparison. I know Murdoch is going to try pulling some Iron Lady bullshit if the writing is really on the wall for Tony but the hypocrisy will become too much weight for this island to bear as Australia sinks into the ocean.

I think the story was that Tones wasn't wanting to send someone to Lima at all, but Bishop called him out in front of the entire partyroom and argued that the governments position on climate change was hurting them and not sending a minister to the climate conference would result in the feeding frenzy for the media. The party voted in favour of Bishop, and Tones compromised by trying to send a denier over to make sure we didn't say anything too progressive that might hurt LNP donors in the fossil fuel industry.

The party voted in favour of Bishop, and Tones compromised by trying to send a denier over to make sure we didn't say anything too progressive that might hurt LNP donors in the fossil fuel industry. The part before the party room incident is Bishop applied to the PM's office to go to Lima in the first place arguing that no one there would make the issue even more apparent about Australia as G20 was when they tried to downplay climate change. She was refused leave without explanation, so she went over his head to the party room and made her case and none opposed so she was back on. Then a few days later Tony added on Andrew Robb without explanation, which has actually pissed off Robb as not only does he go to a conference on a subject he doesn't believe in (alongside things like reality) but that while he was in South America at the time touring for trade meetings now he has to make a large schedule adjustment to several trade meetings just so he can go to Peru, where he is unwanted, to prevent Bishop from doing anything, who doesn't want him to be there. Kevin Rudd's leadership ambitions:

Didn't Robb write a few essays on Climate Change and then did a complete 180 when he got the ministerial position?

Note also what happens when there is a problem. This is a dark cloud over a festering boil on our national character (One only hopes that it leads to a "life-threatening systemic infection"). And just to lighten the mood: When the Telegraph is front paging Bishop going over the PM's head then I'm calling trouble in Toon Town. This may only be the beginning of the end but the narrative has now been set as this being a dysfunctional and internally warring administration. No friends NTATA leads Muppet Government into early melt down My favourite bit about the Higher Ed Ad Bad is that Minister Pyne's office was unavailable for comment (well that and the grounds that it is being challenged under isn't that it is transparent political advertising but that it is actually not true You almost need to practice to gently caress up this badly).
