13. One thing he can't hide are the telecasts of Question Time.

Unfortunately, not too many people actually watch QT, but when something interesting happens, it usually goes viral (Gillard's misogyny speech, for example). And if Albo is elected Labor leader, he will be an Opposition leader who will hold Abbott accountable for every wrong word or misplaced gesture.

But yes, Rupert will protect him, and he'll probably get an easy run from the ABC as well, judging by the performance during the election.

I think this election was a vote against Labor infighting more than it was a vote for Abbott, and I just hope that whoever becomes LOTO will be able to keep MPs from attacking each other instead of Abbott.
