Can Turnbull expand the Liberal constituency? : Comments

By Graham Young, published 15/9/2015

Turnbull is a centrist and pragmatist, which means he will struggle to carry the hearts, although he may capture the votes, of the grass roots of the Liberal Party.

All Turnbull has to do to cement the Conservative Liberals is to seriously cut the funding to Their ABC. Frankly all would be forgiven given Abbott's failure to rein in this monopoly.

What makes you think rain will continue to fall in north qld.

Turnbull doesn’t stutter and does not tell you the same thing several times, as Toni did. He was not a PM’s bootlace.

To finish off this term of Coalition govt; Turnbull is the man. 12 months to see what the man holds is fair. When he stacks his front bench in his favor, he will be quite comfortable. Turnbull and the ABC get on good, without any bullying as came from Abbott.

The coalition has been infiltrated with Conservatives, which goes against the core of the Liberal party. This change will put some fairness back into the liberal side of politics. If you do not agree , you are a Conservative and not Liberal. That is why Abbott is not there any more.

An informal vote is a squibs vote, just because it does not suite you. Abbott should form his own political party instead of banycooting someone elses party. There is at least 4 persons here that would vote for him

The first air strike in Syria has been completed . Abbott told us a week ago that the first strike had been completed and all returned to base safely. The man could not help himself from telling lies. Thank god he has gone.

Victoria in for the roll out of the NDIS scheme. Signed up. This bloke is going to be a marvel, for Labor I mean Liberal. You can’t hold every state up because of lagers. That is up to them, and that is the way GST should be managed also.

Turnbull has been overwhelmingly accepted, no comment yet from Coalition supporters.

Arjay,
"What's the bet that Julie Bishop knowing Malcolm Turnbull will become a liability very quickly will stab Malcolm in the back,just like she did to Tony ?"
It won't happen until he's way behind in the polls. And it's safe to say it won't happen before the election, if only because she stands a much greater chance of being able to unseat him if he loses it.

McCackie, what makes you think the ABC's a monopoly? Last time I checked it had various competitors: 7 9, 10, SBS, plus Foxtel, Stan, Netflix, FetchTV, various commercial radio stations and websites.

@ doog, "What makes you think rain will continue to fall in north qld, "

The high and stony Gregory Range in northern Queensland attracts cyclones in the region and cyclones usually teem with water that in this day and age can he harvested and stored in high valleys.

During the year even when there is no rain, each high water holding area could be drained into aqueduct running to Cubby Station type water holding areas further southward and lower down the aqueduct system.
On demand the cubby areas could be drained into the Murray Darling Basin.

It would be best to build up bulk water in the cubby areas and release it in bulk to create a river as it's called, that is, not a trickle but a big flow all at once down existing rivers.

Big fast flows in outback rivers reduce seepage and evaporation loss. Seepage loss is greatest while there is an ongoing trickle. Deep holding areas reduce evaporation.

Therefore it does not have to rain all the time in far NQ, to catch bulk water, and have a flow running via aqueduct most of the time.

Question is, will PM MT embrace opportunity to develop this newly productive water management infrastructure, for this food export nation?
