Readying knives: the mortality of Australian prime ministers : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 21/8/2018

Turnbull had done himself no favours. He remains weak but more to the point, has appeared to be weak.

So Turnbull is still in the Lodge.

His sneaky underhanded attempt to lock in the Parris CO2 reduction has failed. In his arrogance & stupidity he thought he could con the whole Liberal party room, but a few stopped him.

He has proven himself yet again to be confidence trickster, but not a very good one.

The majority of Liberals have proven themselves more interested in holding their jobs for a few more months than doing the right thing for the country & removing this slime from Canberra.

How do you tell with these left leaning people, if they are simply idiots or con men? Do they really believe in the CO2 driven Global Warming scam, or are they gutless wonders, trying to use it to impose their vision on people with lies & deceit.

Is Turnbull another K RUDD, trying to gain high United Nations office by offering us as lambs for the slaughter? Is he stupid enough to believe the Global Warming scam? Or is he trying to hand his banker mates easy access to the billions the scam continues to rip out of ordinary folk? Who can know, but we do know, he doesn't have our interest at heart.

By leaving him there the majority of the Libs have proved they do not have the capacity to do the right thing by the country. Unless they change very soon they have just signed their death warrant.

Hopefully the Labor government to come, will have too much self interest in holding power to try this stupidity, when even the Europeans are too smart to do it.

yep Hasbeen. Its heartening that it seems finally people are starting to wake up to the foolishness and deceit of the warming scaremongers. I even heard a couple of calls on the abc(yeah no lie) of people expressing their concerns about the Paris con. Thank God that people can get news outside of the likes of abc and see for themseves a 3 year old boy receiving an acid attack in London and the chaos caused by muslim immigration. None of the orchestrators who bring such chaos are prepared to live in supburbs where it all takes place.

A couple of surprising results connected to the earlier spill. And hat was a vote of no confidence was allowed and the overwhelming support Malcolm got when the house divided, A poll which the PM won by a very handsome margin!

And sent a signal and shivers up the spines of the would-be wreckers and tells them to expect more of the same if another PM is toppled by the born to rule power-hungry conservatives inside the coalition? Many of who are presumably in the crosshairs of the electors, just waiting with hypothetical baseball bats to show these wreckers who decides who leads the government.

Yes, I know the party decides but it's the voting public that gives it their seal of approval with each election.

The PM will not have to face the music again for a while and has time to consider his options and what's the best outcome for the party?

For mine that is an early election and a very long campaign to ensure Joe public who are aware of the disunity in the party and the principle troublemakers, might just exercise their options and remove the worst trainwreck examples. In any event, It couldn't make things much worse and give we the people the folk who pay these folk their salaries a chance to make a few of the troublemakers and wreckers redundant? And then unite under a leader who finally gets essentially party loyalty, not the rubbish we've been exposed to when the Former leader was found wanting and toppled, refused to go gracefully and allow a party to lick its wounds and putt on a united front for the public And still required!

No wreckers hired or wanted, Try the CES and the dole!!

The hard right of the LNP have done Turnbull no favours, no favours at all, since he became Prime Minister.It is surprising that he has lasted this long. Once he goes there will be no moderate to replace him and the LNP will slide slowly towards the far horizon on the right eventually to vanish out of sight, leaving the moderates to be welcomed by the ALP or the Greens.
His backbench have made good government impossible. Unfortunately, I live in one of the blue-ribbon LNP seats in Queensland, but I can always register my feelings in the Senate.
In the meantime, the atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to increase, drought strengthens its grip on Australia, bush fires devastate California, Europe and Eurasia swelter in record hot conditions while in Australia proponents of fossil fuels deafen each other with vapid logic and thread-bare rhetoric denying that climate change is occurring, saying that it is occurring but just like past occasions, or that human beings have no responsibility for it.
I cry for my country at times like this!
