Tony Abbott has issued an extraordinary statement bashing his successor Malcolm Turnbull’s “merchant banker gobbledigook” after suffering a resounding defeat in the Coalition party room on energy.
 |
| The former PM could reportedly muster only four strong backers. |
The former prime minister went into Tuesday’s all-important meeting attacking Mr Turnbull’s proposed National Energy Guarantee policy as “very dangerous”, warning of higher power prices if a mandatory carbon reduction target was imposed.
It was a tactic that worked well in 2009, when Mr Abbott used internal dissent over Mr Turnbull’s backing of the Rudd government’s proposed emissions trading scheme to seize the leadership.
