On that critical front, the Abbott government has failed time and again," Albrechtsen wrote in her column for The Australian on Tuesday.

On Thursday, Bolt wrote for News Corporation that the government was making "the same blunders that killed Julia Gillard" when it came to the ABC.

"To win an election – and you're not worth two bob in opposition – to win an election, you've got to pass the pub test," he said.
"PM, you don't have a mandate for this." more
