Quite funny really... The Daily Telegraph, aka, the Sunday Telegraph, does its best to promote Tony Abbott today and every day... Everywhere it's the "Tony Abbott is Great" show.

Making a direct comparison between Coalition policies under Mr Abbott and Mr Turnbull, Sales said: "There was very little difference, so then what was the point of knifing Tony Abbott?"

Mr Turnbull refused to "buy into those sort of unpleasant metaphors".

"We shouldn't be using violent metaphors," he said, prompting Sales to replace "knifing" with "replace".
