Dear Foxy,

OK, OK, I get your point. We give Malcolm Turnbull two brand spanking new fake $40K Rolexes and one each for his wife and kids.

Hi Foxy,
I believe Malcolm is already a good PM, because he was willing to take a chance at the job when he knew just how bad Abbott was.
He is great orator and has not embarrassed Australia in front of the world like Abbott did. He will certainly be PM much longer than him, that is for sure.

I have also heard of many people coming back to the Liberal Party fold after Turnbull became PM, myself included.
Labor won't have a chance in hell at winning the next election, regardless who is at the helm because Malcolm is too popular.

Dear Suse,

I know that Malcolm Turnbull wil be an excellent
Prime Minster. He talks to voters as if they're
adults not mugs.

And I will be also going back to the Liberal fold
again. As I told you earlier, I can't see
anything other alternative. l

Foxy,

Turnbull is a waffling puff of hot air. Can you name me anything he has uttered that has substance?

(Apart from assuring us his tax dodge in the Cayman's isn't a tax dodge - Lol!)

He's rather adept at deploying the IPA's odious agenda, I've noticed. every day something drops from the sky onto our lapels. He waffles and pontificates, but seems rather adrift as to policy...not to mention having to boot wayward ministers every second day.

His Treasurer today at the NPC spent 46 minutes saying nothing...that's nothing at all.

Morrison's most sagacious comment was that: "Our future is in front of us - not behind us."

Turnbull turns out to be a charlatan in a nice suit...he's back-tracked on just about everything he made out he stood for when he was attempting to get some attention.

He's a spiv like the rest of them.

(Btw, hi there - thought I'd drop in for a bit)

Gawd..I just read yours and Suse's comments lauding Turnbull.

While I respect your opinions...I can't quite gather why you both think Turnbull is so good.

"He's a great orator..." - if you like a vacuous waffler. I challenge you to follow his rhetoric. It's pure fluff and garnish.

Tell me the difference between his govt and Abbott's?

I mean tell me?

Point me to the policy changes that differentiate Turnbull's regime from Abbott's.

If anything Turnbull's govt has been more ferocious.

Yes, he's not Abbott. He doesn't insult our intelligence in the same goofy way as Tony did...but the principles which guide his govt are exactly the same far-right extremist guff that guided the Abbott govt.

There is no difference!

And yet you ladies are falling into Malcolm's arms (so to speak)

There you go...

But "Sheesh!"

Isn't if fascinating that I pop off for a while, Mr Suave takes govt - and Foxy's coming out with lines like this?

"Of course, I also like Julie Bishop and Scott Morrison."

Now why would anybody who's championed social conscience of any kind (like Foxy) say she liked a guy like Scotty? Scott is the guy who introduced refoulement as govt policy, who took real delight in locking up kiddies in offshore camps, who imprisoned folks in the bowels of ships before towing 'em out to sea and let them drift off somewhere else. He's the fella who popped champagne corks with Cambodian ministers, paid them 55 million to resettle "4" refugees..who was a great chum of Sri Lanka's leader, he of the dodgy human rights record.

As a Treasurer he's making dufus Hockey look like an economic genius.

You keep saying that Turnbull is very intelligent. I have seen no signs of vast intelligence. Nothing profound has emanated from his lips. He's fond of saying things are on the table, testing the waters and then saying they're off the table.

Now you tell me you are a closet Liberal - at a time when the Liberals are so far right, they're bordering on fascism..and it continues with a vengeance under Turnbull.

It's been an education coming here again...one suave change of leadership, relief from dumbo Abbott and his fear mongering..and all the ladies are swooning at Magnificent Mal without analysing for one minute the continuing odium of his right-wing policies (which won't change before the election - or even after IMO)
