PM under new fire after a bad week

Newspapers have little sympathy, saying Abbott has 'a talent for accidental injuries'

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott came under fire on Friday over controversial comments on the arrest of two terror suspects and for referring to a "holocaust" of job losses, capping a horrible week for the PM.

Abbott began the first parliamentary week of the year fighting for his job after poor poll ratings, a series of policy back flips and perceived highhanded decision-making saw MPs from his conservative Liberal Party force a confidence vote.
