Re Turnbull: we’re more comfortable toppling leaders than policies : Comments
By Sheenal Singh, published 5/6/2014In the minds of Abbott's worst critics, Turnbull represents a moderate panacea to the problem of popular and palatable governance.

Malcolm Turnbull is an ex-banker. He will give us the same old pine apple with a bit of snake oil to sooth the pain.

Yes, voters are mistaken if they assume that a change of PM would make any significant difference to the Coalition's neo-liberal policies. Turnbull is a minister in Abbott's government--judge people by the company they keep.

The only problem with Malcolm (return bill) Turnbull, is in the patently paranoid minds of commentators like Andrew Bolt or Alan Jones?

Turnbull has been ahead of Abbott as preferred leader since well before the election. I think research has shown that we prefer leaders who talk intelligently, not in idiotic sound bites and mindlessly repeated slogans, which is why Rudd rated much higher than his performance as Prime Minister warranted. Tony Abbott persists in addressing us at primary school level, which can be interpreted in two ways: either he is stupid, or he thinks we are. Neither makes him attractive as Prime Minister.

remember how popular Rudd was and yet was unable to stop the knife in his back after one term. Abbott has seen off Turnbull,Rudd, Gillard and Rudd. Not bad for someone who his haters called unelectable. One could argue that his opposition has been very very poor. Then again now it is flip flop flip flop Mr Shorten. Another Labour/union stooge.

A good lucid article.
Turnbull as Lady in Waiting since 2009 will not wait forever when he has so many other career options. When Abbott weakens he'll pounce. Turnbull wants power but doing something positive when he gets it is something else. It need only be recalled that, when Leader of the Opposition, Turnbull nurtured Godwin Grech towards self-destruction or when Water Minister in the Howard Government Turnbull said all but achieved nothing. Turnbull sorely wants to be PM but really wants to be Australia's first President (once the Queen goes). Posted by plantagenet, Thursday, 5 June 2014 12:03:34 PM

If Malcolm Turnbull is re-elected leader, it would not surprise to see his Leftist policies come to the fore -- in fact, he would not be out of place performing as a member of Labor or even the Greens.
Despite the ABC flouting the impartiality provisions in its charter ( e.g. it has a closed mind on anthropogenic climate change (AGW) , closing out any views that question AGW; it is consistently Left-biased in political reporting; it is closely allied with the gay lobby in promoting gay marriage), Malcolm, as the responsible minister, behaves as though he is a member of Friends of the ABC. Given the annual generous $1.3 billion government handout to the ABC, at the very least he should be calling for a total review of the ABC , as some thirty years have elapsed since the last review -- during which time the Australian broadcasting scene has changed enormously, such that there is no longer any market niche in which the ABC is the sole provider.

Yes Raycom
Your fear of the vile Communist ABC, to the left of North Korea, is well shaken, not stirred. And Turnbull is its Kommissar. Beware - we should fear the ABC Red Square. And bring back McCarthyism I hope. Posted by plantagenet, Thursday, 5 June 2014 12:17:09 PM

'Your fear of the vile Communist ABC, to the left of North Korea, is well shaken, not stirred. '
actually plantagenet I doubt it is fear just sickened by the lies and propganda funded by the tax payer. I wonder what percentage of the warmist religion supporters and perverted marriage brigade are on the public purse. A high percentage I suspect. Posted by runner, Thursday, 5 June 2014 12:39:18 PM

Hi runner and Rayman
For those with fewer brain cells than a box of Smarties the ABC threatens comprehension. I can therefore understand your fears of the happy and gay diversity that the ABC brings. Commercial TV is Conservative and Safe like the Church. For some - endless commercials spruiking Hungry Jacks, Sports Betting and Australia's foreign built autos, provide time for the brain-cells to catch up. Like Public Health in America a Public Broadcaster smacks of Communism. Therefore low taxed Commercial TV or Pay-TV, all cross-subsidized by your Income Tax, should be the only "Choice".

“warmist religion supporters”
Religion is based on beliefs on the other hand climate science is based on facts. Religion has a dismal record when confronted by science I recall that it was only in the 1960s that the Pope conceded that earth orbited the sun. I doubt the liberals realize it yet but Abbott chances of being reelected are almost zero. Anything he says come the next election will be not be believed. Abbott has trashed his reputation as far as the majority of Australian voters are concerned. No amount of spin will alter that perception. I don’t see them changing to Turnbill this early in the new term of this government but if it does not happen fairly soon the liberals will probably have cooked their goose.

Damn Our commietariat are at it again.
It is only the labor dromes who sack their PMs. Liberal/National PMs have to show the guts to face the voters. And are expected to do so. Lib Nat Premiers have the decency to resign Since 1972 ie in the last 40 years Whitlam ... sacked. Hawke...dumped Keating ... landslide Rudd ... dumped Gillard... dumped Fraser voted out Howard voted out QLD Bjelke Petersen... dumped Beattie ... dumped Bligh ... landslide Vic Baillieu... resigned Nsw O'Farrell...resigned Iemma...dumped The one before Kenneally ... dumped. It is not all politicians people have become accustomed to dumping their leaders when in power. It is lefty drones people have become accustomed to dumping their mates.

I find it very interesting to compare Turnbull & Obama.
Both are successful orators, as was Hitler. Both are too dumb or too crooked to see through the global warming scam. Neither are bright enough to understand what is needed in their countries for the good of the majority. It is reasonable to believe they don't care about the majority in either country. It says a lot about the US & OZ that both people can fall for the glib tongue, but can not see intelligence when right in their faces. Enough to say the coalition would never win an election with Turnbull as leader, too many thinking people can see he is but a talking empty vessel. There must still be some smart people in Labor. They can see what a fool Turnbull is, & how he would damage the Libs. That is obviously why they are promoting him. What a bloody pity those smart people in Labor don't use their brains for the good of Oz, rather than to get a bunch of dills elected to parliament.

“yea warmair I suspect you along with the other Abbott haters were among those who said he was unelectable three years ago. Have not eaten enough humble pie yet?” The problem is I never thought Abbott was unelectable it is only now that he has lost all credibility that I think he has no hope of winning the next election. I am not that fussed which party wins government as long as they lead the country with some competence and show some respect for the electorate. The last government we had that meet that criteria in my view was the Howard government until they lost the plot with work choices. Posted by warmair, Thursday, 5 June 2014 8:02:02 PM

A number of posters are rightly critical of Abbott's performance.
One major factor in any kind of information, or 'selling', is the credibilty of the salesman. You can wax on as much as you like about policies and their soundness, but the majority of communication about these is in the media. That vehicle demands credibility from the spruiker. That, Abbott does not have. One poster commented on how he seems to address us as thought we were schoolchildren, and this is one of his problems. He's living in the communications past where a few words from the mighty one would be sufficient to re-assure the masses. We don't want snake oil - we want sincerity.

Yeah of course. We need the sincerity of Rudd Gillard Shorten and Labour.
