I agree with you, Lexi. Many people could handle the Liberals, but
they don't want Abbott, including me,.

Abbott has shown poor judgement, time and time again and the hand
of the Catholic Church is never far away to guide him, even if for
political reasons he's gone very quiet about that. That was not
the case when he was in Govt.

Abbott is simply a shin kicker and Labour are giving him plenty of
shins to kick. We need a PM who shows good judgement.

Hasbeen, you should count your lucky stars that Obama won. The
alternative was Sarah Palin as vice president.

One single issue saw Turnbull replaced by one vote.
Lexi maybe we are not Representative of the real world.
I think we are.
It already has been said Labor voters want Turnbull.
But is that the only folk who want him, and why.
He here is said to be Socialist, maybe some can not under stand that word.
Even Abbott's CONSERVATIVES are in part Socialist.
As near as we will ever get to it on both sides, consider us against the USA, education health care and much more.
The single issue?
Climate change.
OH yes carbon tax, but both sides once agreed, this is the best way to do it.
Even now,but much less than just a year ago, some conservatives are ignoring their party's intention, to cut by the same amount, as Labor.
Turnbull would be no Friend to Labor or the unions,but he will be more civilized.
Abbott powers on fueled by Julia Gillards inability to sell her self or her policy's.
But in the streets, my e mails,from unionists and Labor activists, she is being torn to pieces.
At the same time Abbott, even in his own camp, is frightening people.
So Turnbull is my wish and tip.
ALP thoughts that we would never elect Abbott, as a single defense for keeping Gillard, ignoring better polling was the reason for knifing Rudd, is blindingly silly.
First team to change leader has the election won, but has to confront a new leader on the other side.
Banjo, Turnbull Abbott and Costello all once thought about the ALP.
Turnbull will never go Labor.

Yabby, I think even Gillard would be less bad than Obama, & that's saying something, coming from me.

Palin would be a breath of fresh air compared to both of them.

Turnbull is a Glodman Sachs boy and will continue to enslave us with the CO2 tax.How about looking beyond the image and look at the substance of their policies ?

Wow, this started sooner than I predicted. Flooding the forums with pseudo support for Turnbull by heartbroken ALP voters. I don't think & sincerely hope no other coalition supporters will fall for this faking of preferring Turnbull.
Now that ALP voters are looking straight into the gun barrel they're hoping that they can de-stabilise the coalition by drumming up Turnbull. As they say politics is a dirty game & dirtiest players are in the ALP.

First I think Labour voters have an extremely bad judgement when it comes to choosing their leaders. Look at the last three which makes me wonder why they want to tell the Liberals who to select.

Secondly Malcolm Turnbull was a diaster as oppostion leader and made no ground on Rudd as PM. He was takin in by the gw scam along with Rudd and Gillard. Abbott saw Rudd off and is now a country mile in front of our current PM. Unless the Liberals believed inself destructing they would leave Malcolm Turnbull where he is. He is a brough man but blinded by dogma which even the electorate can see through. Few opposition leaders have been as successful as Abbott despite it getting right up the nose of Labour supporters, the ABC and Getup. Suck it up guys.
