He was another one not up for the job. Fuckin hopeless he is. Couldn't balance his own budget without taxpayers paying off his Canberra house at $270 a night for the privelige of having him in parliament. Now he's quitting!
Axed Treasurer Joe Hockey will quit politics amid speculation he will be offered a plum diplomatic post within weeks.
In a statement issued on Sunday afternoon, Mr Hockey, who will be replaced as Treasurer by Social Services Minister Scott Morrison, announced he was retiring from Parliament after nearly two decades.
"I advised the Prime Minister that I did not wish to continue as a minister in the government and that it is my intention to resign from the House of Representatives," he said.
"I will have more to say in due course, but for the sake of my young family - to whom I owe so much - I have decided to bring my parliamentary career to a close."
It is not uncommon for former senior ministers to be appointed ambassadors in key posts such as Washington, London or European capitals. more
Perhaps now all Australians will be able to turn on the telly, assured in the knowledge that their federal treasurer wasn't going to question if the poor had cars. Condescending patronising prick.
Another of Team Abbott bites the dust. Will he smash a marble table and dance half naked as well on the way out?
