"Let's put Tony Abbott's achievements into perspective":
"A number of journalists and commentators have been hinting for a while now that the Rudd Government may only last one term and you can see why.
Once you look past the government's consistent and overwhelming lead in the opinion polls, the Coalition's ongoing leadership problems (now completely resolved with Tony Abbott firmly in charge after his one-vote defeat of Malcolm Turnbull), the fact that the Australian economy alone in the world has survived the global financial crisis more or less unharmed, and the historical fact that Australians almost never vote out first-term governments, it is pretty obvious that people are nonetheless ready for a change."
