Just submitted this question to ABC Television’s Q&A.
“Q & A is one of the few places in Australian media where Liberal/National leaders are subjected to both disagreement and cross-questioning. Is that the true reason for Tony Abbott’s bizarre banning of Ministers from appearing? Is he simply scared they can’t take the heat in the kitchen?”
If you agree, find the tweet from @yolly1234 and re-tweet it!

This is the most politically stupid dummy spit in the history of dummy spits from a man who has made an art form of them.
The mother of all dummy spits. This is the world’s biggest dummy spit on the International Day of Dummy Spitting.
He’s over-reached this time – mark our words.
Well, This Is What I Think 
If I could, I would, Yolly – sadly not on Twitter. That (quite seriously) is a question that all Australians and many more of ordinary citizens around the world should be asking. Our democracies are being subsumed into oligarchies, and most people don’t notice.

The essence of democracy is free speech. The essence of tyranny (in its many forms) is to stop free speech (everywhere). To have free speech, especially in our Parliaments, is therefore vital – and over the span of history, brave men and women have been imprisoned for insisting on the right of free speech.
