Poirot, 'Abbott made me do it, Abbott, Abbott, Abbott!'

LOL, too funny.

BTT

Yeah...scintillating stuff, "otb"

Now I wonder why you're ducking for cover again...was it something I said?

Hmmm....

Dear Poirot,

I don't want to argue with you.

This discussion is about what kind of
Prime Minister will Malcolm Turnbull make?
I happen to think he will make an intelligent
one. If you disagree with that - fair enough.
That doesn't mean that I think any the less
of you. I respect you opinion.

Yo Foxy,

I don't wish to argue with you either...you're one of most genuine and charming posters on this forum.

You know I respect you.

It's difficult when you post something, as you did a short while back, that I find mildly provocative - am I not supposed to respond or do I respond too enthusiastically?

You think Mal is set to be an intelligent PM.

Fair enough.

I perceive him, after his five months in the top job, as a man of little political substance and nous - though his general intelligence is probably intact.

So there we have it.

Cheers

Dear Poirot,

I came across the following comment from a
reader on the web that I think summed things
up rather well:

"I think it's unrealistic for Mr Turnbull to
make any big announcements on policy shifts.
The dead wood has to be removed first.
We should have a clearer idea of his "leadership
style" further this year."

It's still early days - and he did say in his speeches
that he would be a consultative PM.

Li Ruipeng would make just as good a prime minister as Turnbull providing he promises to give all of us a free fake $40K Rolex like the ones he gives to Liberal Party MPs.
