The Abbott ministers are revolting

Huge cracks are starting to appear in the Abbott gov's initial bravado at their first attempt at budget smuggling. Now the back bench is scared shitless at the polls, and surprise surprise there is suddenly talk of "negotiation" by the Abbott gov. 

Yes, that's right, I said "Abbott" and "negotiation" in the same sentence. Perhaps as an illustration? Like, what's wrong with this picture?...... 

Senior government ministers are signalling a willingness to compromise on key budget reforms after a wave of popular unrest, and in the face of entrenched opposition from interest groups and a hostile Senate. 

Amid the pressure on Prime Minister Tony Abbott to water down aspects of the budget, speculation has been fuelled that income tax cuts will be announced this term to address disastrous polls and ease the nerves of MPs in marginal seats. Two of the biggest-spending ministers, Education Minister Christopher Pyne and Health Minister Peter Dutton, have signalled negotiations would see some ground given. 

The Coalition is bracing for the return of Parliament next week following disastrous post-budget polls and a sales job that has all but run off the rails. 

After a week of hostile talkback radio sessions, and a now infamous prime ministerial ''wink'' during a radio interview, a Coalition party-room meeting on Tuesday looms as a potential flashpoint for both Mr Abbott and Treasurer Joe Hockey. more

Abbott couldn't negotiate himself out of a wet paper bag. And I hope the walls are made of something stronger than just plasterboard if he loses it when he doesn't get his way. Perhaps the negotiating room should be built like a boxing ring? That would be the only way Abbott would get it. Gotta watch this senate stuff coming up, it should be a sight to behold. Wonder how many times Abbott will put his foot in his mouth?
