YES, PRIME MINISTER, IT'S RAMADAMADINGDONG.

PM: Oh hell, Humphrey, the bean counters tell me I lost twenty thousand votes just because I didn't salute thirty boxes of old bones that came back from Vietnam. Why do they put these things on when I'm on the campaign trail?
SIR H: I have the answer PM. I propose you throw a banquet for ramadan. That's thousands of votes we can take off Bill.
PM: Ridiculous Humphrey, that's the fasting period. I know my sharia law you know.
SIR H: Not so PM. They love to pig out after sunset.
PM: "Pig out" Humphrey? I can't believe you said that. I'm quite expert on these things, and I forbid you to use such ham-fisted terminology in this context. A banquet, eh? Well, make sure you don't invite any sheiks that have condemned gays. Andrew fucking Bolt will have a field day.
SIR H: I'm sorry PM, but in that case there would be nobody to invite. But I can make sure the most radical are seated out of the way at the far end out of photo shot.
PM: But that's where they put the women, Humphrey. Never mind, speaking of sheiks, invite some movers and shakers. "Sheikers" Humphrey! Get it? "Sheikers..Shake..."
SIR H: Yes PM. Very good PM. Excellent play on words. I thought we could put you with Mister Ali - the association of yourself PM,alongside the most popular man in Australia.
PM: What? I do believe the most popular man in this country is......
SIR H: ...Yourself of course PM; begging your pardon.
PM: Anyway, don't seat me next to that little smart-arse, he'll blind me with polemics. Tell you what Humphrey old boy - get me next to Susie, his wife. Hmm, and on the other side have that sexy Yassmin Abdelly-what's-her-name. Shit, Humphrey, there has to be some compensation for the lack of alcohol and spare ribs, eh? Make sure the wife is down the back on the Hizb ut-Tahrir table. And entertainment Humphrey? Can we get some of those Afghani boys that twirl about in tutus?
SIR H: Umm, not a good look PM. Perhaps for the after-party. I'll give Justice Kirby a call, I'm sure he'd be delighted to arrange something.

WHAT WAS ABBOTT HIDING IN HIS CABINET?

Here's a whacky theory from a skeptic with a suspicious turn of mind [and that would be me].

Tony Abbott was deposed, so I considered his cabinet at the time. Here is nearly half of that group.....

Abbott, Heffernan, Hockey, Pyne, Cormann, Brandis, Andrews, Turnbull, Briggs, Joyce, Robb, Bernardi, Cash, Fierravanti-Wells, Sinodinos.

QUESTION: What do these people have in common?

ANSWER:  They are all practicing Catholics!!

There may have been a few more even, that I could not pick up from their bios. Then there are the practicing Christians like Bishop and the Born-Again Morrison.
And, it is fairly well known that Abbott [and maybe some others], are supported by Opus Dei.
This constitutes a large bloc of very rightist conservatives at a moment in history when policies on the plate included same-sex marriage, climate change, abortion, Indigenous inclusion in the Constitution and other topical matters that would elicit a particular standpoint of Catholic faithful. Just maybe the backbench and a few in Cabinet saw a clash of policy coming, and a fall in support from an increasingly progressive electorate.
Or was the deposing due to the raw onion?
