Is the Cabinet re-shuffle enough?

With breathtaking timing Lucky Tony has managed to dillute the bad overnight election news with his cabinet re-shuffle.

From a situation where all the focus would be on yesterday’s 3rd place on votes and nearly 300 seat losses the bulletins tonight are mostly about his changes.

But will this be enough to calm his party critics and allow Lucky Tony to complete most of his third term?

Like him or loathe him you have to concede that Lucky is an extraordinary politician. The way he performed on Wednesday to defuse the deportation row was stunning and how his enemies within his party must despair.

If a formal move to unseat him is made Lucky, surely, will defeat it?

My big regret this week is not getting onto the 1/2 that was available on him surviving until July.
