Proportional representation is a recipe for even greater disaster than the current senate, where the idiots gather.

Paul is right for once, Turnbull could make a great contribution to the wellbeing of the country, he just is suggesting the wrong actions.

Firstly Turnbull could resign. This would be a good contribution, getting red of the second worst PM in living memory, after Gillard of course.

However, a swan dive from the top of his home would be a better idea. He needs to remove himself from not only the parliament, but from the public consciousness. While he is still around, dills may still consider him prime ministerial material, & that alone makes him dangerous to good government.

Dear Hassie,

I don't know what to make of Malcolm Turnbull.
I had such high hopes for him initially because
he treated voters like adults and I thought he
stood for good things. Now I don't know whether
he's changed, or is being forced to toe the
party line in order to keep his job.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what sort of
policies he presents to us prior to the next
election. I'm not fond of Bill Shorten.

Foxy I don't think it would matter what policies Turnbull presented at the next election. If he is still there to present policies the Libs are finished. Most of the people who might vote liberal either find him disgusting, or totally untrustworthy.

He only survived the last election because Abbott had supplied him with a huge majority, & because some long term voters could not bring themselves to vote against "their" party.

None of that is or will be there to save him again.

He is a dead man walking, he's killed his political career, & should have the decency to finish the job.

Dear Hassie,

The Australian newspaper reminds us that Malcolm
Turnbull won the partyroom ballot to become leader
and Prime Minister-designate in a ballot of 54 votes
to 44, after almost half of the Liberal frontbenchers
turned against Tony Abbott to vote for change.

Senior Ministers, Christopher Pyne, George Brandis,
Ian Macfarlane and Julie Bishop were among 14 of the
35 Liberal frontbenchers who backed the leadership spill
to install Mr Turnbull as the country's new Prime
Minister.

There's even more information given by The Australian
if you want to Google it. So, I'm not sure how
accurate your predictions are of Mr Turnbull not being
the leader of the Liberal Party at the next election.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Whatever you do, don't mention ABBOTT.

Now there will be the machine gun sounding, phut, phut, phut (thousands of them) , as the gravy train riders spit out the guvvy nipple to which they are permanently attached and exclaim, 'It's Abbott, Abbott, Abbott!'.

Then it is back to sucking away on those automatic supply nipples, only pausing to enjoy a good whinge, before re-attaching themselves with great gusto, 'Hey, I'm entitled!'.

How long can the taxpayer survive?

Damn! Wouldn't you know it, any warning is always too late.
