The Libs are about to lose their Cossie.
Malcolm will be devastated.
Will Abbott follow? Minchin?
Will Turnbull be able to get some kind of coherent opposing done without Costello and his camp breathing down his neck? Or will Barnaby continue to ensure that disunity and death continue?
Who will replace Costello? Will it be John Roskam, chief of the IPA, the Ponds Institute of climate change sceptics? Whoever it is will end up in parliament. Higgins doesn't do variety.
Costello's not actually leaving until the next election. Will he manage to keep quiet, or are in we for a grand finale series of explosions?

One /good/ thing about the possibility of Roskam replacing Costello as my local member: I've read enough of his opinion pieces to know that I won't be voting for him either. (There have been one or two that had some merit, however). Will Roskam become more reasonable as a player rather than cheerleader? Doubt it!
It ain't much better up the other end of Glenferrie Rd either, with the honorable Petro probably being replaced by the execrable Josh.
But, here's a thought... perhaps Pete could follow the lead of the former state member for the same area - and run for Lord Mayor of Melbourne - replacing Dufus Doyle with a better class of comedian.
