Abbott has never been a popular politician but since his demise has even succeeded in upsetting some of his former supporters who had voted for him in the leadership stakes.
The extract below from an article in the weekend Australian tells the story. Since then he has managed to continue in the same vein.
"It has reached a point where those close to Abbott when he was prime minister are frustrated and feel betrayed by his actions. Mathias Cormann, Peter Dutton, Josh Frydenberg, Christian Porter, Dan Tehan and Angus Taylor were Abbott loyalists, one and all. The gang of six frontbenchers, who stood by Abbott to the bitter end, have had a gutful of the destabilisation he is causing now.”
