The real economy is collapsing .I'm down by 50% this year and so are the factories next to me.Unemployment will double this year unless they drop rates immediately.

If they don't drop rates now,we will end up like Europe and the USA ie people will lose total confidence and refuse to spend or borrow money.This means we will be all fighting over fewer $ in a collapsing economy.We then spiral backwards and no amount of austerity will reverse that.

Turnbull is a banker and has their view of the monetary system of counterfeiting our currencies being all supreme.They have a scortched earth policy so they can buy up assets for cents on the dollar when it all turns to sh!t.

Remember how much ridicule john howard had to endure ? Now it's Tony Abbott's turn and, just like Howard, Abbott may just surprise all the leftie hangers on. Turnbull might just be silly enough to listen to his ego rather than Australians & wreck our future even more.
The reason why the ALP is drumming up Turnbull is that he'd more than likely turn out worse than Rudd & Gillard. This would be the boost ALP supporters are hoping for, someone even worse than what they produced.

Dear Ludwig,

Don't be concerned about Malcolm Turnbull and
question his attitude towards the environment.
I remember how impressed I was when Mr Turnbull
was Federal Environment Minister and he imposed
46 tough environmental conditions on the
then proposed Gunns pulp mill in Tassie's
Tamar Valley. I believe he set a world standard.
Anyway, here's a brief summary:

There's more to this man then meets the eye - and he's more then
just a "banker." He knows about economics and finance - he's
was also a rhodes scholar (a proper one), and even though he
was raised as a Catholic, he's not a fanatic. All in all -
a well balanced individual. Quite refreshing, for a politician.
He may, given the chance, just bring back the party to its
original foundations.

*The real economy is collapsing .I'm down by 50% this year*

That is what happens Arjay, when you take your focus off the business
and spend your time reading conspiracy theories. More switched on
businesses run past you.

Hasbeen, if Sarah Palin is ok with you, you might as well for
for Runner as PM, they would both fill your life with religion
to keep you from being bored.

Yabby I'm almost positive that I said she'd be a breath of fresh air, I really don't remember saying much more, but now you bring it up!

If I am going to have fools depicted on my TV talking rubbish, wouldn't it be nicer to at least have someone who was attractive to look at.

But one step further, even if she was not much good, I very much doubt she could be as bad as Rudd or Gillard have been, even if she tried. Hell, even Turnbull would be better than Obama. In fact Turnbull would be good in any other country but here.

Before you start knocking someone, do look at the competition. Have you heard that fool Clinton woman talking recently? Palin could never be as ineffective or annoying.

Then have a look at that Cofi Annan pontificating on the Syrian problem. I can't believe we still give money to the fools & monkeys at that useless United Nations.

So if you want to tell me how bad Palin may be, please do tell me, compared to what.

A few more details about Mr Turnbull.
Arjay called him a "banker."

This isn't accurate.
Malcolm Turnbull in his career has been a
journalist, barrister, company legal counsel,
merchant banker, and Leader of the Australian
Republican Movement. He's also the wealthiest
Australian parliamentarian and the only
parliamentarian to have made it onto the BRW's
Rich List.

His background is impressive - and being wealthy
he can't be "bought," like some of the rest of
them. Pretty good credentials all round.
