Malcolm Turnbull - How long?

[David Schwarz]

Could have been worse; Morrison

Plus, Dutton starred in a great Aussie movie, which has no bearing to anything whatsoever.

*Not mine, there's a thousand of these all over the place

 

[NSWCROW]

I want it too happen just to see the reactions from NSWCROW and Gough .

 

[NSWCROW]

The real loser out of this is Australia.

What a friggen farce. 10 years or revolving doors in Govt. What gets me is the Liberals saw what voting out an elected PM did.

1. It reduces your vote and in both cases led to a hung parliament and a near unworkable majority of one.

2. Causes the Senate to fracture with minorities picking up seats and hamstringing the process of Govt.

3. Sets of a war within the Govt where the former leader undermines the current as egos take over.

The ALP were dumb for what they did but the liberals are utter friggen morons for not learning from the other sides mistake.

Meanwhile these bastards fiddle whilst the country stagnates.

Thank the COWARD

Thank the COWARD

Unbelievable, talking with a friend this morning and said all we need is a terror alert and lo and behold after an 18 month investigation Trumbull holds a press conference on it. Glad they got him but the timing still sounds a bit suss.
Doing an Abbott?

Dutton.......................

 

[Gough]

I was under the impression that the Liberal Party were chock full of talent, and experience. Grown ups, ready to govern I believe was the narrative.

Both parties are stuffed, hence why Pauline gets votes and air time now.

 

[Juddism]

Who else do they have? Morrison is on the way down. Abbott can't come back. Brandis is about to be shipped off to the UK. Bernardi has pulled the pin. Christensen is off to One nation.

Dutton is the only viable option. He's got the 'stop the boats' to his name as well.

the bishop...other than that, they're stuffed.

 

[Maggie5]

Marise Payne? What side of the Libs does she sit?

 

[Ned_Flanders]

So the point of this whole thing is to set Dutton up as a challenger.

Dutton.

The loony Right white anting the party to oblivion.

Well we are ****ed

 

[Malifice]

the bishop...other than that, they're stuffed.

Bishop is from the Centre. She's never been outspoken for or against the looney Right stuff. That's how she's survived for so long.

Apart from moaning & whinging, what are her policies?

 

[Malifice]

Dutton does seem to be mentioned a lot more in despatches recently.

God help us.

Both Abbott and Bolt went to great lengths to talk him up during the interview.

Abbott knew he was signing his own death warrant gobbing off, but in so doing he wanted to make sure Dutton was talked up as being fantastic for the job. My guess is he knows Dutton will probably score him another position on the frontbench. From there he might be able to regain some cred and give it another crack.

Turnbull has only got himself to blame. The best way to shut up the Looney right was that was for him to embrace a liberal social agenda. My view is the public would have gotten behind a liberal social agenda at a conservative fiscal one. Instead he was too scared to rock the boat and piss them off, and all he's done is embolden them as the public get more and more dissatisfied with his performance.

 

[Malifice]

On the topic of Bishop she is someone Id consider voting for from the right. I'd want to hear her policies first.

She's more than qualified, and not some loony right wing climate change denying pro gun anti gay marriage lock up all the brown people nutter.

Pauline gets airtime because Channel 7 likes to help right wing nut job parties in the senate because the Greens scare Kerry and Jeff

I used to be a beat cop a long time ago.

And I'd get called out on domestic disputes all the time, hundreds probably over the years.

But there was this one guy, this one piece of s**t, that I will never forget. Gordy, he looked like Bo Svenson, you remember him? Walking Tall? You don't remember? Anyway, big boy. 270, 280. But his wife, whatever she was, his lady...was real small. Like a bird. Wrists like little branches. Anyway, my partner and I got called out there every weekend, and one of us would pull her aside and say "come on, tonight’s the night we press charges." And this wasn’t one of those deep-down he-loves-me set-ups — we get a lot of those — but not this. This girl was scared. She wasn’t going to cross him, no way, no how. Nothing we could do but pass her off to the EMT’s, put him in a car and drive him downtown, throw him in the drunk tank. He sleeps it off, next morning out he goes. Back home.

But one night, my partner’s out sick, and it’s just me. And the call comes in and it’s the usual crap. Broke her nose in the shower kind of thing. So I cuff him, put him in the car and away we go. Only that night, we’re driving into town, and this sideways arsehole is in my back seat humming "Danny Boy." And it just rubbed me wrong. So instead of left, I go right, out into nowhere. And I kneel him down, and I put my revolver in his mouth, and I told him, "This is it. This is how it ends." And he’s crying, going to the bathroom all over himself, swearing to God he’s going to leave her alone. Screaming … as much as you can with a gun in your mouth. And I told him to be quiet. Cause I needed to think about what I was going to do here. And of course he got quiet. Goes still. And real quiet. Like a dog waiting for dinner scraps. And we just stood there for a while, me acting like I’m thinking things over, and Prince Charming kneeling in the dirt with s**t in his pants. And after a few minutes I took the gun out of his mouth, and I say, "So help me if you touch her again I will such-and-such and such-and-such and blah blah blah blah blah".

Just trying to do the right thing. But two weeks later he killed her. Of course. Caved her head in with the base of a Waring blender. We got there, there was so much blood you could taste the metal. The moral of the story is: I chose a half measure, when I should have gone all the way. I’ll never make that mistake again.

No more half measures, Walter

Foreign Minister Tony Abbott??

 

[Malifice]

Get the Asians out. They form ghettos and don't assimilate. An immediate halt to Asian immigration.

Oh wait... sorry no.. the Muslims. I forgot those goalposts changed. Same message just different people. Unless you're Indonesian or Malaysian of course.

It makes the Asian candidate she had to kick out of the party the other week even more hilarious. It's like a bloke called Saul Bergman trying to become a member of the Austrian Nazi party.

Frydenberg backed Abbott in until defeat didn't he? Any chance he could build cross-factional support? He'd be far more appealing to the electorate than Potatohead.

 

[Jascave]

How many votes did Malcolm Turnbull get over Tony Abbott that made Turnbull PM in September 2015?

Frydenberg is a Turnbull lite - a talking head

54 to 44 Jase.

Quite liked Frydenberg until he took over the Environment and Energy portfolio and proceeded to tell a host of porkies. The reasons for the SA power outage and the so-called clean coal tripe being at the head of the queue.

 

[Pessimistic]

Of course there's a few less in the party room now

 

[Bomberboyokay]

George has to pretend he isnt part of the problem to appease the massive ONP vote in his electorate

Liberal National and One Nation are polling 50-50 2PP in his electorate I heard.

That's gold. The reverse wedge
