"Well Poirot, I remain secure in the knowledge that my apparent 'love' for Turnbull will never come near the incredible infatuation you have for Willie, despite all evidence that points towards the fact you are backing a lame horse :)"

(Oops!...we're back in the quadrangle again....bragging about who's taking us to the school social)

But seriously, folks....the minute Shorten starts a weekly course in making an arse of himself - like Turnbull (and his predecessor) - I'll start criticising him.

Whodathunk Suse would wait for the federal LNP to turn rabid right-wing before she came out of the closet with her Conservative colours!

Strange days indeed....

Poirot and Suse, so far into his reign Turnball has only managed to shoot himself in the left foot, which means he's still hobbling around on his right foot. Unfortunately for Milk Em' Malcolm there is a very large bunion on his right foot, which he calls Tony! Providing Mal does not shoot himself in his one half good foot, and providing Tony the bunion does not burst before the election, it is my view Milk Em' Malcolm will fall across the line. Besides the problems he been having with his scatter gun, he affectionately calls Tax, and that painful bunion Tony, Barney the Monkey on his back is dammed unconformable. Fortunately for Mal, the only other runner in the race is the legless Silly Willie!

Paul,

Mal better get on with it....the trajectory of his popularity is still heading south at a rate of knots...according to a Newspoll analysis.

My conclusion on Suse's attitude is - seeing as there's no "fundamental" shift in LNP policies since Mal took the rudder - that she's thrilled with the IPA policies unleashed by the Abbott govt (even though they were delivered by way of deceit at the last election)

She thinks they're great!

However, she didn't like Abbott's style or the way he delivered those policies.

It seems she much prefers IPA-LNP policy delivered by Mal.

Am I on the right track there, Suse?

P,

I sense an air of desperation in you and other rabid left whingers. MT has carefully blunted any scare campaign that electricity Bill could run. The idiot independents will be looking for a job, and Bill and the Labor party will have their corrupt dealings aired in great detail.

If you don't like MT's tax policies then why were you silent when Billy vomited up his thought bubble negative gains and emission target policies. I look forward to his explanation of how taking money from Cleanevent to remove union workers overtime payments was in their best interests.

SM,

Labor's negative gearing policy is an actual policy...backed by independent modelling too.

"Independent modelling has dented the Turnbull government's attack on Labor's negative gearing policy, finding it will generate billions for the Commonwealth with the vast bulk of revenue coming from just the top 10 per cent of households who negatively gear their properties.

The report's author says the policy would likely slow the pace of house-price growth and boost new housing construction, making it "potentially the biggest housing affordability policy the country has seen."

It has actual written documentation - as opposed to Mal's brain fart, dreamed up one morning as he was gazing admiringly at himself in the mirror.

Didn't even make a written proposal.

I read this morning that candidate for the right-wing's most boring politician, Kevin Andrews, says he'd be prepared to challenge Turnbull if the circumstances were right.

Which is hilarious!....and just shows the nuttery abounding in govt.

Newspoll: Malcolm Turnbull, Coalition lose lead to Labor

"The Coalition has surrendered its lead to Labor for the first time since Malcolm Turnbull became Prime Minister, with the latest Newspoll revealing the Bill Shorten-led opposition has pulled ahead, 51 per cent to 49 per cent, in two-party terms.

Amid mixed messages about the government’s tax policy and tensions between the Prime Minister and Treasurer Scott Mor­rison, support for the Coalition has tumbled to a six-month low as Mr Turnbull’s own standing ­continues to slide just 88 days out from a possible double-dissolution election."
