Readers please note- The information below is out of date as it is based on information available at the time it was posted. An accurate list updated according to more recent information is available here
I suspect the lowlife in the Liberal Party who betrayed Tony Abbott have severely misjudged public sentiment. All the feedback on social media and talkback radio projects a deep rage within the electorate at Malcolm Turnbull and his actions. This rage is not only targeting Turnbull, its directed at Julie Bishop and many of the others who were complicit in betraying Abbott. Even Scott Morrison is receiving flack for not being more outwardly supportive.
I think the Australian voters are entitled to know the names of each of those Liberal politicians who had a hand in driving the knife into Abbott, so I have decided to compile a list here of the names I know.
These people think our anger will fade. Not mine. This was a despicable act and they should wear their treachery for the rest of their political careers.
These are the Liberal Party reps who are known to have remained loyal to Tony Abbott. (43 names including Tony Abbott)
There are 54 who voted for Turnbull. This number includes Turnbull himself. Two arrived too late to vote, (Dean Smith and Michael Ronaldson) but indicated they would have voted for Turnbull anyway. So I have included them in the list.
So there are 56 betrayers. I have 55 names listed below. We are still short one name. By a process of elimination it has to be one of these-
Bill Heffernan or Angus Taylor.
One of these goes to the list of loyals above. One goes to the disloyal below. If anyone can help with identifying this last betrayer it would be much appreciated.
Update 12th October.
I have been told by various sources that Angus Taylor was likely to have stayed loyal to Abbot. Louise comments that Angus Taylor sat next to TA at this weekend’s LP Conference, and that Taylor was also left out of the ministry. I think its fairly safe therefore to decide that Taylor voted for Abbot and Heffernan’s name should be added to the list of betrayers.

He presided over the destruction of the auto industry, and the enormous loss of revenue that will cause, as well as worsening the balance of payments. He was demented in his attacks on the ABC. And he has snapped up the entire supply of Australian flags for a generation.

This will give the Labor opposition so much ammunition it will considerably weaken the Liberal’s position in the house. How can Turnbull seriously and honestly argue for these propositions when he doesn’t believe in them? Its farcical, and you can’t blame Labor for pointing that out, as they will again and again.

I understand how you feel, as I openly supported Tony.
As soon as the challenge was announced, I hit the airwaves in Sydney and Melbourne and also in social media calling for support for Tony. I walked into the party room with him, and I walked out with him as well.
After the loss I felt gutted, and amongst the thousands of emails in support of Tony one said she was in mourning – and that best explained my feelings last week.
Nevertheless, I have to remain focussed on ensuring that union puppet Bill Shorten never gets the power to run our great country – but in doing so, I’ll be also ensuring that our party doesn’t weaken on the strong stances that need to be taken.
Thanks again for your support for Tony.

The MSM are making noises as if Turnbull is fresh out of the pack. He’s had a run before, as this comment from Tim Blair’s blog pointed out.
“Turnbull sounded impressive on TV today. He also sounded impressive when he was John Howard’s environment minister and talked his boss into following Rudd on an ETS. It was the end for Howard because he was now a follower, not a leader.
“Turnbull sounded impressive when he replaced the unimpressive Brendan Nelson as opposition leader. Tokenism and blunders and the Libs were heading for electoral doom.
“Turnbull sounded impressive as he fronted the mikes as the communications minister. Two years later the NBN is in more trouble than ever and the ABC is totally out of control.
“Sounding impressive is Turnbull’s forte. Already we hear his first act will be to dump knights and dames and that Marise Payne is the “first woman defence minister”. It’s the same shallow token politics that marred his first three political roles and is likely to end the same way.”
