Again I made a typo - my apologies I'll try again. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/jeff-kennett-on-malcolm-turnbulls-first-year-as-prime-minister/news-story/60939260fe83b0c721090b91467b8428 Posted by Foxy, Tuesday, 23 May 2017 10:58:58 AM

Of far greater significance and damned spot-on too,
"Former Labor leader Mark Latham slammed his party's obsession with gay marriage saying it should focus on the nation's 'Struggle Streets'". But you could go to any group anywhere and someone might have a criticism, often with some basis. Sometimes they want the top job or are just cussed too. Greens leaders Bob Brown and Richard Di Natale have always been undermined by the Greens NSW 'Watermelon' faction and the awful Lee Rhiannon, now seat-polishing as a federal Senator. Richard do Natale has already endured seven years of Rhiannon, who has her blockades against Israel and other outrageous activism. The Greens leader must figure he broke a mirror. The ridiculousness of amateur funnyman Paul1405 is representative of the randomness of the NSW Trots faction of the Greens. So much for small protest parties that use the Parliament for grandstanding to get an elite into Senate seats (and those golden entitlements forever!). Any wonder the Greens elite favour proportional 'representation'. Where they are concerned it is anything but representation, think Lee Rhiannon and NSW Sh**bridge, the boy who swings from her coat tails. Posted by leoj, Tuesday, 23 May 2017 11:41:16 AM

'Not much chat about Abbott's misdemeanors. that is a closed debate.'
you mean by the stopping the boats (said impossible by every regressive) and ridding us of the cancer of a breathing tax. Pretty good repair for a man in Government for only a short period of time. Yes he did fail by not defunding the terrorist promoting abc. Posted by runner, Tuesday, 23 May 2017 11:46:54 AM

Paul1405,
You are imaginative, to put it politely. But you avoid the factionalism that you must be party to, since you claim to be great mates with 'Aunty' (your familiarity) Lee Rhiannon and the boy hanging off her coat tails, Sh**bridge. But I should have added that the Greens leaders have had SHY, the loose cannon who confused a TV series with the operations of the ADF, to contend with too (and more lunar modules like her!), SMH 27Jan2017 "Greens factionalism threatens the party as Lee Rhiannon and Bob Brown trade blows ..As one Labor Cabinet Minister told me during the Gillard years, the Greens barely talk about the environment anymore. At that time, the Greens key messages were courtesy of the internally unpopular Senator Sarah Hanson-Young on her favoured issues of asylum-seekers and same-sex marriage. The Minister noted how with the Greens distracted, it was much easier for a Labor government to talk about the environment which is an issue of broader concern to more voters than refugees or gay marriage. Today, NSW Senator Lee Rhiannon says the party is at a crossroads and needs to channel Bernie Sanders to reinvigorate the party. That's bald criticism of the leader" - That is proportional representation for you! It gets lunar modules into Senate seats and on the taxpayer-funded golden handshake forever.

the Herald Sun written by the former Premier of
Victoria, Jeff Kennett. I wonder if Mr Kennett
would still agree with his summation today of
Mr Turnbull?
