It's really an administrative role.

You sort of sort out the branches and

You know, say when you have an election and you commission someone to do a review into what went wrong, they sort of do those sorts of things.

They sort out problems behind the scenes and, you know, clean up sort of crooked branches and these sorts of things.

I think in this case the Liberal Party is in such a terrible position and it's important to note that Angus Taylor, the leader, the actual leader of the Parliamentary Party, wanted Abbott.

They're sort of ideologically and philosophically aligned.

And the biggest threat they face now is the One Nation threat.

So, you know, they have to make a choice.

They're stuck in the middle.

They've been pulled to death from the left and now they're getting pulled to death from the right.

It's impossible to go after both at the same time.

And I think they've made a decision by bringing in Abbott that he is a foil to One Nation or the most effective foil to One Nation they have.

It's, by my memory, Chris, I've been here a long time.

It's the first time there's been a leadership change and no leadership
