Dear Paul,

It's not looking good for the Turnbull government.
One disaster after another - from the chaos of
energy policy to the inertia on housing, from
the unpopularity of Simon Birmingham's education
reform to the rejection of the Uluru Statement, the
government has not done well, and let's not mention
the PM's own policy disaster - the slow moving wreck
of the National Broadband Network. And now to top it
all off - we have the expensive same-sex marriage survey,
Manus Island humanitarian crisis, and the rolling crisis
of MP eligibility under Section 44 of the Constitution.

I don't envy his job at the moment. And I bet he's really
looking forward to his summer break. Which for him on his
return could mean he won't have a job.

Paul,

The end of the Turnbull government started from the minute he stabbed Abbott in the back. Since then, he has increased debt, global warming garbage and costs, electricity prices- you name it, he has stuffed up like no other PM -ever. Bill the Dill will be our next PM, with all the horrors that entails.

Turnbull has ended the Liberal Party, too. No party can have the huge differences of Left and Right in it and survive; it is a three ring circus now: conservative, hayseed Nationals, and a copy of Labor, with the Pynes, Birminghams and Brandis's. I doubt that the Coalition wiil ever recover

A few more points from Andrew Bolt as to why Turnbull and the government is finished:

Turnbull has made the government unelectable “under any leader” (So Bolt has even stopped barracking for Abbott)

“...the Liberals are now branded as an unprincipled rabble standing for nothing but themselves.”

“... being Prime Minister was all he (Turnbull) ever wanted, and too bad if it ended in tears for everyone else”

The “cover up” on Senator Parry.

Pigheadedness of citizenship crises.

Stupid, incorrect comments on High Court's anticipated dealing with Joyce.

Refuses a public audit on dual nationality politicians, which:

Makes it look as though he is “running a protection racket for an illegitimate government.

Cory Bernardi believes that there is growing support for parliament to be suspended while the citizenship scandal is resolved. There is certainly some evidence for that in the media, and it would be one way to bring our hopeless politicians to their senses - or to what little bit of sense they have.

Re Cory Bernadi: he is on a list of 32 'suspects' in the dual citizen story presented by ABC Online today. If you can manage to stir your stumps to read about these 32 politicians, you might be as pissed-off as I am by those who claim to have renounced citizenship of foreign countries but who REFUSE TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE OF THE CLAIMS. What an arrogant mob of people we have elected!

" ... Turnbull seems destined to be cut down by his arrogance", writes Janet Albrechtsen in 'The Australian'. She was referring to his "I've never had more fun in my life" comment from last week, among other things. Turnbull trumpeted about the "incredible sloppiness" and neglect of two Green Senators revealed as dual citizens, but refused to hold an audit of other politicians who might not be as honest as the two Greens.

"His ego seemed to block an ability to see what voters saw" (Albrechtsen). And she is right. Turnbull trues to bluff and bullshite rather than do the right thing. He has to go, and take his terminally ill party with him, no matter how bad the alternative is. He has turned Australia into a circus.
