Either way do I really care whether Costello and Howard had an agreement that Howard apparently broke.
One would have to question Costello's acuity and suitability to be PM if he actually imagined that
What I find strange is the belief that the other young princes blithely accept that for a decade the next King had already been predecided. Although they have all paid lip service to the notion that Costello would succeed...surely Abbott, Pyne, Nelson and who ever else would not knock back the job if the party room decided that Costello was more of a liability with the electorate than an asset {not that those gentlemen are not liabilities}.
I don't believe Costello has an automatic "right of succession", and I am getting bored with the Interim Rite (Anglican joke) of every few weeks the media whipping up a ridiculous frenzy about nothing!!
Stop it!!

Costello has to focus on winning the electorate over first.
I agree mushroom...and that is fdar from certain.
Though he actually seemed vaguely human last night./ Perhaps when you've stopped holding it in it goes a little better.
I think that he suffers from image issues - for me it is that smirk!
Having said that he is prob the most competent out of the libs to be the next leader, but his tantrums over the handover are really damaging the party.
Now, can we get some effective opposition?
