Unlikely to occur, even less likely to succeed.

Because Labor was already going to win by a large margin, and Abbott is less popular amongst moderates than Turnbull, so and crossover support the Libs may have gotten will now be lost. Abbott is great for the base, but bad for the party.

Ah, so just like the Republicans in the US and the PCs in Ontario?

Closest mirror would be John Howard himself, actually, in the 80s - too conservative for the general population, against a popular, moderate ALP leader who had very high levels of control over his party.
