It's no secret the Liberal Party have got themselves into a right royal leadership mess.
But if we read through old tweets from the Liberals would we uncover some hypocrisy? Would it be funny?
1. The answer is yes and yes.
@katielambeski We're ready. I lead a stable and united team - a contrast to the other side #asktony
2. People have been RT-ing the best ones recently. Take for instance one of the leading leadership contenders, Julie Bishop.
If Gillard was solution to Rudd problem are we meant to believe Rudd now solution to Gillard problem?
3. Who loved throwing some pop cultural references into the mix.
#ALPsitcoms 'Revenge' - Rudd as Emily Thorn Gillard as Victoria Grayson
4. And slamming Labor's "bitterly divided party".
@JoeHockey A desperate PM leading a bitterly divided party resorting to base politics of fear and division seeking to distract from ALP woes
5. Plus, considering the speculation that she is an actual challenger to Prime Minister Abbott... well... this is just funny.
ALP now have 3 "leaders" - the Defender, the Contender and the Pretender.
6. Treasurer Joe Hockey had this to say in 2013.
2 more Labor candidates sacked tonight. ALP is as dysfunctional as ever. Safer to be in a Big Brother house than be a candidate for Labor!
7. And this... "Will the Australian people get a look on?"
Wow another Press Conference about the Labor Party... That change really worked. Will the Australian people get a look on?
8. Another rumoured leadership contender Social Services Minister Scott Morrison thought "leadership chatter" is about "a Government sacking itself".
Labor leadership chatter is all about a Government sacking itself for its own poor performance #fb
9. ...
@rustedon1962 I meant stability and consistency is on the Coalition side - Labor remains dysfunctional and divided
10. And ~nailed~ this tweet.
quote from Eden Monaro voter re Labor Government leadership change "same smelly feet, different pair of socks" #fb #alot #gillard
11. Finance Minister Mathias Cormann accused Labor and its leadership issues of being a "circus".
Tony Abbott with a strong united team vs Labor which is just a circus. Time to end the circus. #realchange #pplsforum
12. Minister for Small Business Bruce Bilson thought there was "no adult in charge" of the Labor government.
People right across the country, whether they own their business or not, look to Canberra and see no adult in charge. http://t.co/RED6jm43
13. And the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Women (her real actual title) Michaelia Cash hit out.
Labor continues to obsess about leadership because the Prime Minister continues to show bad judgement.
14. Then there was Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Jamie Briggs.
Time for change, can you imagine 3 more years of this division, chaos and dysfunction? #election2013
15. And fellow South Australian, Senator Simon Birmingham couldn't help himself.
it would seem that the tradesmen have arrived to replace the door into the Labor caucus room with a revolving door... #auspol
16. Hit.
.@TonyAbbottMHR says that the people of Australia deserve better than Labor's games & division. Hear, hear! #auspol #spill
17. After.
.@perissology when was the last time the governing party had two leadership spills within 13 months? Enough is enough.
18. Hit.
the Rudd &Gillard governments summed up in one video with one word - dysfunction … http://t.co/uEg4sCjUNj #auspol #MyLiberal
19. Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs Steven Ciobo went after the infamous phrase being used by the current crop of Liberal government MPs.
@fitzhunter utters the words that everyone knows are a death sentence for Gillard - "the PM has my total support" just now #abcnews24
20. Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer Kelly O'Dwyer, touted as a future Liberal Party leader, had some choice words in 2013.
A Labor Party with any other leader is still the same divided and dysfunction Labor. Watch me on 'Breaking Politics' http://t.co/ftkjxZlH6e
21.
3 years since Gillard knifed Rudd, still leadership the issue. Only a change of government can restore stability http://t.co/aHICk9TYJA
22. But don't ever forget the Liberal backbenchers.
Labor with all the chaos&dysfunction are unhappy little Vegemites They need time out in opposition #auspol #ausvotes
23.
I get on one plane trip & half the Government resigns! Hell, why am I even surprised anymore #chaos #confusion #labor #auspol
24. Especially when the backbencher is publicly agitating for change now.
Our PM officially ceased looking like a PM this week in Canberra
25. Like Liberal MP Dennis "Abbott's Gotta Go" Jensen.
It becomes clearer by the day that switching failed Prime Ministers, nothing really changes
26.
Only an election will deliver a genuinely united government. A better future for all with a strong economy and a safe and secure Australia.
27. It would be unfair to exclude other Liberal figures. Take it away former NSW Premier Barry "Grange" O'Farrell.
Ouch! Anna Bigh - I don't intend to allow "the NSW disease" of "revolving door" leadership to undermine Labor's mandate in Qld #bloodflows
28. Tony Abbott's own sister (herself a Liberal Sydney councillor) also condemned the "revolving door" of Labor.
Australia deserves an election, not another untrustworthy and untrusting Labor "leader" thru their revolving door #auspol #spill
29.
Laughable @KRuddMP has the hide to challenge @TonyAbbottMHR Who was chicken when Crean wanted a spill? Call an election Chicken Kev #auspol
30.
Whatever the outcome of the spill, Labor is a chaotic rabble, obviously incapable of uniting behind anyone #auspol
31. Plus the Federal Liberal Party President Brian Loughnane.
Labor leadership chaos - I feel a Lemon coming on .. #auspol
32. And the former Chief of Staff for John Howard, Grahame Morris.
Some dills are saying Libs worried by ALP leadership process and may have to copy. Worried is wrong word. Laughing is the word#auspol
33. Because remember the Liberal Party is UNITED!
A truly united Coalition or three more years of Labor chaos, division, dysfunction? It’s your choice. #auspol
34. It definitely doesn't want to change the leader!
Remember the last 6 years of chaos, division, and dysfunction when you go to vote today #auspol #ausvotes
35. BONUS: Treasurer Joe Hockey scoffed at suggestions low interest rates = good economy. (The RBA just cut interest rates to a historic low)
If we accept @krudd logic then US and UK and European economies are doing really really well because their cash rate is effectively 0%!
36. Oh and Immigration Minister Peter Dutton who expressed his favourite royal was the newly knighted Prince Philip... BACK IN 2010!
Prince Philip is definitely my favourite royal.
37. It all goes to show that throwing stones in glass houses, especially when you're in opposition and the stones are tweets, could lead to looking a bit silly.
@wendymorison We won't break an election commitment. Sorry to disappoint #asktony
