Knew that was coming, that's why I included John the Baptist.

Better to be thought a fool, Gibo, than open your cake-hole...

Nah it’s a trivial issue who in that generation has NOT tried it. Besides he was amongst the alleged Cocaine set bankers, big time lawyers stock brokers, wheelers and dealers.
But now?
How would we tell if he is still on 'substances' anyway? He's deluded enough as he is. He hardly acknowledges anyone else anyway except as minions or to have misanthropic sport at their expense.

Ambition is an essential for a PM but for ambition's sake? Shouldn’t there be an ideal a vision for benefiting the people of Australia one that transcends the individual somewhere in the mix? His history doesn't seem to indicate that level altruism. Leopards and spots come to mind.

John had a vision for Australia (albeit a little anachronistic perhaps) to begin with. It was in his latter years he focused on HIS legacy (the sign of has-beenism).

The "demented thunderbird" (term from Matilda's satirist) was trying to set a vision.

Even Kevin had/has a woolly feel good one going in, but Turnbull? He's simply a trophy hunter, his next is PM then what? Should god be worried perhaps?
The libs can do better.

The pot admission, I believe was superfluous - who cares? They all say the same thing anyway - "when I was young.........!"

However, Tony Jones appeared exasperated at one point, endeavouring to gain control of the discussion and I was beginning to wonder who was the interviewer and who was the interviewee!

Nevertheless, the audience appeared amused though did we detect a slight hint of that rumoured arrogance in Mr Turnbull?

Do any people in the legal profession post here? If so, maybe you could answer this. I'd be more interested in a professional opinion rather than a lay person's opinion. Malcolm Turnbull has admitted to breaking the law, not the watered down term of 'technically' breaking it, he actually 100% broke the law if what he says is true. Is it possible for the authorities, or even a private citizen, to have him charged with the appropriate offence, even though presumably it was committed a long time ago? As he has openly admitted he has broken the law, if charged he may very well be found guilty. Wouldn't that disqualify him from holding any political office? Don't forget, back in those days it was not just a minor thing like a speeding fine, it was a 100% criminal offence.

Maybe he's given his opponents some nifty ammunition, without recognising it.

Will you be ready StG:)?

I may be wrong, dickie, but I believe the only crimes that apply to cannabis are trafficking and possession. If someone handed Turnbull a roach to puff on, I don't think it's technically an offence.

And Gibo, the second coming has been predicted continuously for the last two thousand years. What makes you think it's going to happen now? Exhibit A: the truly hilarious prophecy history of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
