"Interesting times ahead? Yes, definitely."

Nah! Interesting times past.

Here is my scenario;

Some evidence that throws considerable doubt on the CO2 global warming
will surface. The evidence will be of such nature that it will be hard
to ignore.

The Liberal party will erupt into a row about GW.
The Government will in no way consider a climbdown from their adament
position on GW.

Malcolm Turnbull likewise will not climb down.

Peter Costello will step in and change the Liberal party policy
on GW. They will oppose all CO2 legislation. Peter Costello will lead
the coalition to the election or if the government is resolute will
force either a double dissolution or even a dismissal !

Hows that ?

Bazz:

"Peter Costello will lead the coalition to the election or if the government is resolute will
force either a double dissolution or even a dismissal ! Hows that ?" he shouts.

NOT OUT, replies the umpire!

Or if you prefer, there's a hat trick of reasons why your dream victory will never occur.

(a) He refused the captaincy when it was on offer when the team desperately needed him.

(b) He took his bat and sulked all the way home after the drubbing.

(c) He has no-balled too many times and has no further appeal.

Not deeply lamented by a large circle of sorrowing friends and acquaintances. But may his ashes rest in peace.
