Professor James Allan notes in an article today how shocked and hurt Turnbull was for having the same thing done to him as he did to Tony Abbott. What a bloody hypocrite Turnbull is, on top of all his other faults. At least the action against Turnbull - after 8 more poll losses than Abbott: the very reason he used for knifing Abbott - was done “in a far more open and transparent, if hamfisted way”. Turnbull has a “gall to feel hard done by”, wallowing in self-pity and lamenting the “decline” in political standards. His demand for names on paper before moving a spill was also an appalling assault on tradition.

The more we look back at Turnbull, the scungier he looks.

I do not see what Turnbull has to complain about.
There was a lot of comment by the party members about the emissions
and electricity system. It was all out in the open but he was so firm
in his belief in global warming and the need to cut CO2 emissions that
he just thought his opinion MUST override everyone else and that naturally
everyone would fall into line. They didn't !

Dear mhaze,

You fantasy was to base you starting figures on the year a PM came into power which was completely ludicrous and once again totally negates any sense of you being an honest broker in this. You through your dodgy figures had Howard less than doubling immigration rates, mine showed him nearly tripling them. Get over it.

You wrote;

“SR now asserts that "Germany employs nearly 30% of its workforce in industry". The actual number is less than 20%. Its been less than 30% for over 20 years.”

This trading Economics graph has the rate around 27.5%

This one form Statista has it at 27.26%.

If you wanted to tell them they are wrong go ahead. Sure they include construction in their definition but the point is that Germany employs notably more of its work force in industry than Australia and its industrial sector is the strongest in Europe even with pushing so hard on renewables.

As to emissions of course going to renewables in their energy sector has reduced the figure from what it would have been without them.

Has anyone ever asked Morrison & what answer did he give ?

Indy,

It's early days for the new government so I suspect
that there won't be too many changes yet. I believe
that Morrison will follow the policies of the previous
government.

Foxy,
Too early to tell if he'll be a decent PM yes but not too early to see the Left already hell-bent to sabotage him.
If the lefties were really genuine about doing the right thing by the Nation as they keep preaching, wouldn't it be the moral thing to actually go & get a proper job ? I mean publishing fake news & talking unachievable ideology on Uni campus isn't really of benefit to the Nation.
