Yeah, insurgents. Turnbull described people who opposed him in exactly the same way he described Muslim terrorists. What a lovely man he was. And, yes again. Describing the new leadership as a “new generation” is absolute rubbish. We won't notice any difference. All the usual suspects are still there; the good jobs have just been reshuffled. It is extremely doubtful that they will be able to 'unlearn’ Turnbullisims - only Dutton and Abbott could have done that. And, what the hell has Annabel Crabb got to do with anything? The main change seems to be that someone has convinced a boatload of idiots that it was OK to come here because our tough immigration Minister was gone, and the rest of Australia's politicians were idiots. Luckily, they weren't told about the crocodiles. Here's hoping the those reptiles will protect our borders better than than the two legged variety.

Turnbull us been and gone and went, leaving behind him the exact chaos be intended leaving when he finally got sick of playing his nasty games.

There is a god.....
It`s NOT Dutton! ! ! ! !

Overall I think it turned out a pretty good result. The man who stole the PM's job and took a 30 seat majority to one reaped what he had sown. He had the regressive media backing him with the abc the main culprit. Never could accept the fact that Abbott did stop the boats which everyone claimed was impossible and he got rid of the idiotic carbon tax fraud. Yep sad that politics is so filfthy and yet Turnbull had knifed a number along the way to steal the job. Hopefully like the yanks the general population we wake up to the renewable gw scam where we are paying massively high power prices thanks to the ideology backed by pseuso science held by Rudd/ Gillard/Turnbull.

Come on Binoy, how about some truth in your essay.

This was all about stopping Turnbull using us as his gift to the UN, & to hell with our sovereignty. We were his Trojan horse to use like Rudd, to buy favour, & the UN secretary general job.

His power plan had a nasty bit to lock in us reducing CO2 emissions, something that no nation has been prepared to do.

Just at the time when even the EU countries, & China are stepping back, [or actually running away] from the mad love affair with alternate power generation, he wanted to lock us into it.

The left/green must hate it, but Tony Abbott has saved us again from this fools megalomania. Remember he gave Labor a copy of his plan, but wanted the Libs to approve it unseen.

We must have a death wish as a nation. How we can elect such a precession of evil people whose only wish is to use us I really can't understand.

Just look at it, Rudd, Gillard & Turnbull, evil personified & we elect them.

Now we have a Turnbull light in the job. God help us

All that's happened is a poll position for the deeply divided coalition that'd guarantee an electoral wipeout for the diabolically damaged coalition if an election was held tomorrow or next week.

Vox populi furious their champion been rolled by born to rule conservatives. Goings on in Canberra, last few weeks, could have been taken straight from the celluloid of a film shot in Checkoslovakia and depicts a tale titled, Insane, where the inmates have taken over the asylum?

Morrison can wave his hand throwing taxpayers money at the drought, as the CHARITY rolls out, a few folks may benefit? The rest will just get deeper in debt to the banks.

Who will just like carnivorous vultures, bid their time until their prey cannot fight back, to move in for their pound of flesh.

The only way to fix endless droughts is to add water. Not from bone dry dams, built at enormous taxpayer's expense. But rather, gained from inexhaustible sources like the oceans/desalination!

Or, from an inland canal that allows huge northern tides to keep Lake Eyre permanently full/routinely flushed.

Given much of the projected canal way is already below sea level, not anything like the impossible engineering project the shock jocks and Murdoch will claim in their ignorance, it is.

If they claim it's impossible? The very best reason to try it and the self-terminating, government guaranteed, tax-free, 30-year bonds that would fund it, several dozen waste burning power stations and the deionisation dialysis desalination plants that would dot the banks of this project.

Given it would repay itself over and over as a transport hub, water and affordable reliable electricity sales!

All that prevents it are those folk now in government, or those who surely will replace them? As we stagger from one crisis to the next and desertification that increases year on year, decade on decade as all the Austerity is wasted on CHARITY for whomsoever needed to ensure the best electoral prospects for those throwing our money around for the, business as usual, short-termism!

It is nice to be rid of Crap- for- Brains, and the Witch, but we need our prime minister back. Tony Abbott.
