Abbot arrives late; Johnson leaves early

What is it with these Federal government members who insult the serious-minded electors with late arrivals or early vanishing acts? Mr Johnson's behaviour on Tuesday was appalling, disappearing before question time from the floor of the lecture theatre, without explanation or apology. (At least Mr Abbott apologised, of sorts.) 
 
One can only ask: 
.. was this a metaphoric early exit for Mr Johnson, before 24 Nov? 
.. is he serious or has he chucked in the towel? 
.. is this climate change's first electoral victim - maybe he couldn't stand the heat of serious policy debate? 
.. or is he embarrassed having to support the half-baked, intransigent Howard Govt approach to climate change and renewable energy? 
 
Whatever the answer is, Mr Johnson did not endear himself to an audience keen to tease out sustainability policy issues through question time.
