No instinct for early election: Robb

Senior government minister Andrew Robb says Prime Minister Tony Abbott has no instinct for an early election and intends to serve out his full term.

Cabinet minister Andrew Robb is not about to advise the prime minister any time soon to call an early election.

Mr Robb, a former federal director of the Liberal party, says Tony Abbott has "no instinct" to call an election before his term is up next year despite a boost in two post-budget polls.

Mr Robb told ABC radio on Monday the government will use "every minute of every day we've got" to keep doing good things.
