Dear Belly,

What a morning this has been.

Goodness me, I did not expect Matthias Cormann and the
other two to defect so quickly. And I still can't
understand - why not let the Prime Minister finish his
full term? Now things will be a total mess both for
the party and for their policies. Why does personal
ambition come before doing the right thing for voters and
the country? The thought of Peter Dutton as our Prime
Minister terrifies me. Perhaps the High Court can help us
out in this regard (and also his electorate in Dickson)
to make sure that this man goes back to where he belongs.
Out of Parliament!

The rats are deserting the sinking ship! The backstabbing has stopped, no more sensibilities, stabbing front on is the order of the day.
Come on, these fools in government couldn't run a chook raffle, let alone Australia.

hopefully Turnbull will reflect on the fact that he backstabbed and stole the Prime Ministers job which he was incapable of winning himself. Yep reaping what you have sown. Sickening that all the abc 'luvvies' can do is blame Abbott. The Liberal pollies have shown they are just as full of self intetrest as the Labour party.

14 senators elected in the lower half of the count in the last double dissolution one, will face re election in the next one, most of the cross benchers and 5 or is it 6 of the greens, in the next house the governing party, whoever that is, will have a more friendly upper house [chook pen] the next PM will not find it easy fixing the deep wounds this week has inflicted

Belly,
I don't care if either Scomo or Dutton replace Malfunction, as long as he is gone. He should never have been elected leader of the LNP and was the best PM Labor has had for 20 years. I said he was a dud before he was elected and he was the same as Rudd and Gillard, all duds.

I like the fact that Dutton has said he would abolish the GST on electricity, that is a good move and shows interest in what people want. Governments have been skimming the GST off rising electricity prices for years and about time they were reined in. Labor will be angry they did not think of it first, to buy votes.

Banjo even if that is true he was elected by his party and not us, if he did not replace Abbott some one else would, he is gone, if not he will harm his party, however is Dutton legally able to sit in the house? if so why? is it ok to profit from a government you have influence in? new policy not a new leader is what conservatives need after this is resolved
