I guess what the PM should do now is to take a thorough reflection of his strategies and employ some more competent key advisors and discuss with them and listen carefully to what they have to say.

He should refrain from some of his political and economic instincts like views about government for a while.

When these are done, he can combine the best advices from his new and more competent advisors and his media skills.

There is still time to pull together over a number of important fronts: promise of health and hospital takeover, the ETS and climate change policy, the recast of stimulus package, the NBN. Each should be manageable and needs to be well managed.

The question is: will he do it urgently enough?
