"Personally I think Turnbull should be replacing Bill Shorten, then your mob might actually get a direction."

That's quite funny since Abbott's wonderful sense of "direction" has led him straight over the cliff.

Regarding Turnbull - if anyone can rein in this govt's stoopid IPA-inspired right-wing extremism, they'll do the Libs a power of good.

And a further bonus will be that we won't have inflicted on us daily Abbott's ridiculous gaffes.

On several occasions I've stated my disillusionment with Tony Abbott; I've totally given up on him and have no sympathy for his plight.

I take it Foxy might be willing to see how things work out if Malcolm gets in but from Poirot's reply I suspect she may continue to deride whoever the Coalition chooses, whatever that person's policies are.

Dear ConservativeHippie,

Predicting anything in politics is risky
at the best of times. Things can change overnight
as we know.

We'll have to wait and see what develops.

I would definitely like to see Malcolm Turnbull
as our next Prime Minister. But its up to the
party at this time to decide whether Mr Abbott
stays or goes.

Lets hope that the party realises just how much
damage Mr Abbott is doing - both to the party and
this country.

Poirot it is not our fault you left it too late to do anything interesting in your life.

Some of us had a lot of things we wanted to do, & actually went & did them.

Do try not to be so jealous.

Never mind, Hasbeen....we all tend to get a bit snarky on here.

If this wasn't inclined to be such a politically partisan forum, I'd probably quite enjoy listening to your stories...but...there's usually a boot up the bum for lefties inserted somewhere in your narrative : )

Our best friends are a married couple who vote Liberal. We have to avoid politics in the main when interacting, because of the danger of one or the other of us arcing up. It's happened a few times - and rapidly got quite heated.

Cheers

If we have to have a noalition govt; i want it to be functional. Turnbull is a fair leader and has the statesman quality. We need to get some of our national pride back, and put an end to the over the top and out of control Abbott.
That man was destined to be a dunce right from day one after the election, that was won on a fraud.
Turnbull is the man for the libs, he will command respect.
