Hmmm, not very Christian of him.

Now, a senior source from the highest levels of the executive arm of government, who spoke to news.com.au on the condition of anonymity, has delivered a scathing insider’s perspective.

With more than a decade’s experience in the halls of Parliament, the source says the government is “terminal” and now on life support.

“A change of government is inevitable. I think they’ve got very, very little chance of being re-elected,” the source said.

I hope they didnt pay this source. Blind Freddy can see this. Hell I'm surprised the reporter even bothered asking '' a trusted source''

Morrison is an accidental PM, I doubt even he really wanted to be the PM in charge of a wipeout in government and potentially a while in opposition. An ex PM leading their party to victory after a decent spell in opposition never happens, his career as a politician is effectively over and he'll end up one of those PMs who ended up in the job when they shouldn't really have been, only to be destroyed at the polls. An asterisk PM, like a spin bowler whose only Tests were played on the subcontinent.

I would've thought that a more apt comparison would be a pace bowler whose only Tests were played on the subcontinent ie doomed to fail despite having to put in everything you've got to even get to the point of having a chance ...

The elephant in the room is the bigger election wipeout which is surely coming. Would need an ever bigger cunning plan to work that one out. Morrison obviously has a plan to retain his leadership in that outcome. I suppose it depends which faction gets its members kicked hardest by the electorate. Hence Bishop staying on.

A contest within a contest at the next election

I'm reminded of that player in survivor, Sandra Diaz-Twine who was underestimated, twice.


The other thing is how gullible is Turnbull. Turnbull switching his support to Morrison probably got him over the line.

still its not the first time Turnbull got owned. I wonder if theres a few dozen business people out there who could tell some stories

 

[NSWCROW]

and Michaelia Cash – who Turnbull had defended throughout her own recent political difficulties

delcon all along....like i said over a year back.

 

[Lebbo73]

He saved the Libs from the Dutton wipeout. Ironically the Turnbull wipeout would have been the least.

All that remains now is if the Murdoch press can get some voter respect back

The Coalition can’t win the next election. It will be a trouncing but Labor probably won’t last more than two terms.
The only remote chance the Coalition have is if a massive scandal comes out that badly damages Shorten and/or the ALP. However, I can’t see how this happens.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

This reminds me of House of Cards when US President Garrett Walker resigns after convoluted events and privately thanks Vice President Francis Underwood for being a loyal deputy and a good friend. Then a season or two later, journalist Tom Hammerschmidt has figured it all out and gets into his house with the pretext of interviewing him about his charity work. "He stole your presidency!". Walker admits to being enraged when he figured it out himself and hoped throwing himself into work would help him get over it (SPOILER: it didn't).

They didn't shut down parliament to figure out who is voting for who, they shut down parliament to figure out who can be the biggest back-stabber in the LNP.

Two terms is about the go these days. Even fairly good govt gets turfed by a listless electorate.

I have a feeling the story about Scott Morrison planning this coup is designed to make the party look less incompetent than it truly is. Not a word beforehand, but now it's all, 'look at Scott Morrison, the political genius'. Not buying it, myself.

Two stories both well worth a read. Two tossers with no moral compass. Beelzebub the publisher and the counterfeit Christian.

Yeesh this won't impress the usual sooks

Oh he is not accidental.he is rat cunning and new exactly what he was doing imo.

Irreparable damage to the libs now.

Week 1 verdict = still shit

Why?

I thought they managed to round up all the Vietnamese and send them to Christmas Island.

Perhaps its just me, but any plan that involves making the whole party look worse than the incompetent fools that they are + makes Scummo look like a genius does not in any way sound like a good plan.

In any case had a fair helping of luck (unless he banked on Turnbulls gullibility)

Cormann/Fifield/Cash must have tried to cajole him before they went to Turnbull.
Dutton must have tried to cajole him before that.

The fact that Turnbull called a spill on Tuesday without anyone else knowing suggests to me that he had little trust in any of his senior ministers.
Which probably means that he knew Scummo was playing, or would play, him.

It reads like a post factum justification narrative....Now if they had of said Murdoch, then Yes.

Morrison strikes me as an accountant type with very conservative nerdy outlooks & views....Political string-puller & underhanded savvy?....Yeah, Nah.

If he can be retro fitted as moderate anything is possible.

There is not a closet big enough to hold all his skeletons.
5 bucks says Abbott opens that closet door, sooner or later.

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

I don't think Dutton ever really had the numbers. His only chance was if he'd been able to bully his way through a party meeting the morning they cancelled QT. He was never going to be PM after that.

He NEARLY did though. As an Abbott factional puppet he just lost the spill to Scotty 40 to 45. That's a bee's dick in numbers. Still, it was enough. No way he could pull those numbers now in the party room.

 

[Pessimistic]

The NEG is really the thing

Touted by the Then PM as the greatest issue to be fixed 12 months or so ago (rolling power cuts over summer)

Finally got something acceptable to most of parliament, all the state governments

Come to the party room, and although the country is crying out for it, most of the parliament will vote for it, the state governments agreed to it, a dozen wreckers held out, apparently because they want to deny market forces, build coal plants or (and this is probably more to the point) they want policies which wedge the opposition first, are good policy second)

It’s not ideology to blame, these jokers have shown on many occasions they are available for a price, it is their addiction to wedge politics

And after significant numbers are eliminated in the general election?
