It could lose its first in a new run of Liberal wins, if a really good lawyer was to prosecute the next election in front of the big jury. Most of the Liberal front bench are lawyers, Turnbull, Abbot, Coonan, and lots more but if you know how extraordinarily ordinary the average Australian lawyer is, as I do, you would despair as a Liberal voter, and the good Labor voters could rejoice.
My good Labor friends raged about the dismissal in 1975. They vilified Sir John Kerr, but in reality all he did was refer the decision as all good judges should to the jury to determine as fact whether the incumbent was a fit and proper person to lead the Government. Unfortunately they did not have much choice, and until Rudd came along, there was no change of government for about forty years.
Unfortunately for Kevin, he only got the leadership by three votes, and still has a huge lawyer’s rump in the Labor Party, and an even bigger conservative resistance party in the public service, so he is vulnerable to an attack in the big jury, from a real Christian leader. In 20 months he has not yet addressed homelessness, the dishonesty of the High Court, the dishonesty of the Federal Court of Australia and Family Courts, and a few other things, that he should have given priority to.
Turnbull could turn the tide by turning tail and walking out of the Parliament of the Commonwealth, into a safe State seat to lead New South Wales into the coming millennia. Both he and Tony Abbott are Roman Catholic. The belief since birth and primary school that the priest is always right, is a handicap, that a certain leader with a Baptist Christian brother does not have. Rudd and Gillard prosecuted in front of the Big Jury, could be interesting
