The Federal Opposition has seized on comments made by Hunter MP, Joel Fitzgibbon, who's failed to throw his full support by Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
The Chief Government Whip says it's inevitable unpopular leaders won't remain in power.
The opposition claims it's the 3rd time the Hunter MP has failed to back the PM.
It's prompted a quick response from Joel Fitzgibbon who says the party's polling numbers will improve and the PM will be allowed to get on with the job once current polices are bedded down.
