The gainers from these spectacular plays were Zali Steggall, the independent candidate who is trying to oust Abbott in Warringah, and Bill Shorten, who is handed another break in his campaign to defeat the Government.
Years ago, in a much earlier round of the climate and emissions wars, Mr Abbott referred to himself as a "weather vane”.
That accurate self-assessment invited ridicule, but his latest change of direction is beyond absurd.
