Look. Turnbull on Q&A was a non-event because of other events. The MSM weren't interested, and it's difficult to see how anyone else is interested in yesterday's failed politicians. How Abbott got into it is a complete mystery.

What has Scomo done that Turnbull didn't?
nicnamenick,
He was the architect of the Pension asset test ! I just came from having a drink with some well-known Australians & that's why they're going to support independents instead of the LNP.
I myself found the asset test & Centrelink to be single biggest killer of incentive.
If Morrison would review this monster it would raise his support numbers, alas !
Those who pi$$ed everything against the wall are the only beneficiaries.
I bet those young Australians travelling the world for years on end are not contributing much towards their pension but wait how they'll scream when their time comes. They should have to at least pay for their Super whilst away.

ttbn,

The following media outlets covered Malcolm Turnbull's
appearance on Q&A:

ABC
News.com.au
Australian Financial Review
The Guardian
Sydney Morning Herald
Herald Sun
Canberra Times,
The New Daily,
Just to mention a few.

As well as - the overseas media, Facebook, Twitter and
other outlets.

As for what did Tony Abbott have to do with all this?
Had you kept up to date with all the reporting you would
know that "the old guard", notably Abbott and his tiny
band knew how to cause maximum disruption with
minimum numbers. Abbott was determined to see the end of
Malcolm Turnbull's leadership even if he couldn't personally
be the replacement.

Individual,

I wouldn't be too hard on those young Australians
travelling overseas. They studied and worked hard
and now deserve a break. Besides, travel is educational
and as their parents tell them - it
broadens one's outlook. They return home, get a good job,
for which they're highly qualified,
and end up contributing to a Super Fund. They will
be able to take care of themselves in their old age -
not only that. They will be able to look after their
parents as well.

As for Scott Morrison?
We'll see what kind of PM he'll make. Hopefully, it will
entail more than wearing cool caps, eating beef pies.
bus travels, or plane flights - but substantive policies
that are good for Australia and her people.
Although I won't be holding my breath. One political
commentator described Scott Morrison as another Peter Dutton,
but with a smile.

denying the storm of interest and headlines Turnbulls appearance on Q and A is proof some do not understand politics
I watched the facial expressions of the audience and it was telling
he had a lot of support

'I watched the facial expressions of the audience and it was telling

personally I would be totally disgraced to have the approval of the average Q&A audience. You can guarantee that the 'group think' on Q&A would also support the United Nations thieving billions from the Aussie tax payer using the gw nonsense as an excuse. If Q&A audience is truely representative of the Australian public we are well and truely stuffed.
