Hockey should quit Federal and go into state politics, be the next NSW Premier.

In the Federal sphere I think he is saddled with being "Mr WorkChoices"

Abbot for Leader

That story did the rounds a couple of months ago, still might happen, Hockey could be a good Premier he'd be better than fatty O Barrell.

I agree Skippy - O'Farrell is a nice bloke, but next to useless. As far as Abbott goes - he hasn't got what it takes - he is too religious as well as being a grinning hypocrite. Some say that Costello is just biding his time and waiting until both his adversaries slip up - Nelson already has, then put his hand up for leader. He's left it too late and he just isn't PM material - he's too soft and hasn't got that cunning streak that's needed to be PM.

Too right! His reputation and his influence within the Libs have shrunk to next to nothing. How anyone can think he would be a good Leader baffles me.
