The only fear the Libs would have is probably repeating the kind of fallout Labor suffered from switching leaders.

If Turnbull had the guts to resign from Cabinet over the NBN, I think he'd get a lot of ALP voters on side. He's too smart not to know Lib broadband plan is a load of rubbish, and I think Abbott maybe gave him the portfolio knowing it could wreck his chances.
