anointed for leadership, by none other than Malcolm TURNBULL? Why?
o sung wu,
My perception of the Australian political Games 2018 is, Turnbull could see what was coming & decided to get a clean successor who won't have to do battle with the insipid Left on petty matters thus getting on with the job which the left would simply not permit Turnbull to do. Hence, sabotage after sabotage. Notice how quiet young Billy has been lately ? He knows he's not lined up anymore for the next federal election. I'm thinking that some family matter or some health reason will see him off in a bloodless coup. Plibersek is more & more on the nose now too. They realise they're up against a formidable opponent in Scomo. All Scomo has to do is leave the retirees alone & be seen to sort out Centrelink. Simply introduce no more tax hikes until the second federal election from now & freeze public service salaries. The rest is just part of the daily grind really.

Morrison is probably too cowardly to pull our of Paris, as suggested by hasbeen; all Australian politicians are cowardly when it comes to the United Nations and global 'scrutiny'. Even our only two 'hardmen', Dutton and Abbott, haven't had a chance to prove themselves on the AGW scam. Abbott said that he would pull out, but we will never know now if he is fair dinkum because of the ignorant, unreasoning hatred of the man.

Paul Collits writes in Quadrant Online that the Liberals, by not electing Peter Dutton, have helped out Pauline Hanson and Cory Bernadi. A Dutton Prime Ministership would have seen disaffected conservatives returning to the fold. Morrison's take over will keep them firmly out and back with Hanson or Bernadi. Will these leftist Liberals never learn that we have one socialist party perfectly equipped to wreck Australia: we don't need another one.

An 'opportunity lost' by the liberals (yes, they are now mostly small 'l' liberals in the lefty sense).

Collits pays due respect to Morrison's stopping of the boats, but says that his performance as Treasurer is 'murky': he has facilitated “a burgeoning debt, higher government spending, persistent extravagance in relation to wasteful education and climate-change expenditures”. He also generally supported Turnbull and his hare-brained schemes. Morrison is seen as part of the problems so is unable to solve the problems.

Collits admits that many people think that Morrison is Right enough to make a difference, but I am not one of those people. I think that he will be Opposition Leader next year, for a short time, then Dutton or someone like him (too late for Abbott) will be asked to drag the Liberal party out of the wilderness they will be in. However, we should be thankful that Turnbull has gone- a man who Collits regards as an “infection” who deliberately set out to “disenfranchise and thoroughly alienate a great chunk of its (the party's) own support base. Nobody else, including Morrison, could be that evil.

Hi o sung wu, yes I was waiting.

First his attempt to sideline Abbott is an indication that he is another sneaky type, a Turnbull type in fact. He should of course used his doubtless ability in a senior ministerial job. This shows he is planning on things that Abbott would fight, at least in private.

Secondly he is not pulling out of Paris. No one is living Paris. Some are pretending, but we under Turnbull, were the only country that was going to enshrine it in LAW law as another shonk told us. I am inclined to think Turnbulls helping him into the lodge was because Morrison wants to do it too.

What ever his reason, he has already told us with that, he is not to be trusted. I believe he is trying to con conservatives into voting for him at the coming election. If we do, hang onto your hat, as I doubt you will like what he then does.

Of course we may prefer what Morrison would do to what Shorten would do.

If the sun spots are talking true, it is going to get very cold in the next few years, which will destroy Paris the IPCC, & perhaps the UN. In such a case Morrison will be much better at repelling illegals than Shorten, so he is probably the better choice of the 2, but he will still need watching. Thank god for Abbott, & his mates.

You sum it up well Hasbeen. I wonder what fraudulent pseudo science scheme the regressives will draw up next now that gw has not eventuated. Morrison though should be given the benefit of the doubt. No one could be as wrong and obstinate than Turnbull on the gw rubbish. It is the religion that gives you status with the swamp. Malcolm can now join his mate Hewson on the Drum panel. He will fit in with all the 'diversity' in attacking anything decent.

Hi there INDIVIDUAL...

I must say you have a far better handle on Federal Politics than I. To be honest I'm pretty well 'shell shocked' as it is, and I do wonder whether anyone is actually running the country. Or helping out the Farmers, and keeping a close watch on illegal Boats arriving; while these internal battles take place!

You're right when you say Mr MORRISON is a far more formidable adversary than Mr TURNBULL ever was, and I can only hope that translates into the Polls - Thanks mate.

G'day there HASBEEN...

One of his first duties was to appoint Mr ABBOTT as a special Envoy to seek out Indigenous children who're failing to obtain even a very basic education? I wonder whether Mr Abbott's role will impinge on that of the Minister himself? I don't think so, as Mr ABBOTT has always had a soft spot for indigenous affairs? And I couldn't see him jeopardising such an important role purely on the ground, of the preservation of ego's or personal hubris?

I agree with you absolutely, he'll need to be watched, and watched very carefully indeed. Moreover his 'phone needs to be tapped, to ensure there's no two way traffic taking place, between 'Point Piper, & Canberra'? Heaven forbid, that Mr Turnbull takes it upon himself to hand out free advice to the incumbent PM? Albeit it's nice of him to do so, and all that, but not needed really. And you're right on that score as well. I'd much prefer the activities of Mr MORRISON than TURNBULL when he was firmly ensconced in the lodge. A dedicated Labour leader, completely attired in LNP clothing me thinks? Thanks HASBEEN.

G'day RUNNER...

Your mention of John HEWSON, evokes a memory of an awful leader, unable to win the most winnable election of them all! Why then, does the media always seem to seek out his opinion on virtually everything? A nice guy personally, a potential PM, I don't think so? Good speaking with you.

Hewson has his finger in the renewable scam literally. He is right in the middle of the swamp hence his sniggering along with the other feminist/Marxist on the abc. Here is a quote from Herald Sun

'Hewson is a warming alarmist and chairman of the Asset Owners Disclosure Project, “an independent global not-for-profit organisation whose objective is to protect members’ retirement savings from the risks posed by climate change”. '
