Malcolm Turnbull is reported to be phoning Lib MPs from New York, undermining Peter Dutton.
As for Julia Banks, a Turnbull supporter, her marginal Melbourne metro seat of Chisholm is gone anyway, on current national 2pp polling. The going get's a bit rough, and Julia Banks bravely retreats. What a great advertisement for more women in parliament.
The Libs are better off without these two.
Welcome to what is like to be West Australian.As a Melburnian and someone who voted Liberal the last two elections but no more, I fully understand it.
Victoria has been ignored, we haven't been getting our share of infrastructure money despite growing the fastest of any area of Australia,
At least Abbott stayed in politics,
Abbott is Labor's best asset and he is still there.Knobby, Im sure you meant the Liberals got rid of Labors best asset?
Conservative leader Tony Abbott has celebrated a landslide victory in Australia's [2013] general election, after reducing the Labor Party to its worst result in a century with promises of tough action against immigrants and scrapping a tax on carbon emissions... His Liberal-National coalition is set to win a huge parliamentary majority..

That was then, this is now. He is now their best asset. He is a walking embarrassment. The barnacle they can't remove. Hopefully for Libs sake he will lose his seat. I think it is likely despite the large swing, remember Howard?"Abbott is Labor's best asset". Labor doesn't believe that, although they'd never admit it. He had Gillard's measure, and Rudd's, and well they knew it.
A lot of people writing ScoMo or SloMo off already?
I think he maybe "deadman walking" but I'm willing to give him a chance.
Good distraction.Off and racing. SloMo no more. A Royal Commission into Aged Care.
With a bit of luck, it will clear the decks for euthanasia, I'm ready to go. It is depressing watching the Australia, slide down like the Titanic, in the name of leading the World. lolOff and racing. SloMo no more. A Royal Commission into Aged Care.
Good distraction.
I remember when the Libs thought Royal Commissions were considered expensive and a last resort.
The good thing is that it means they don't have to do anything about the issue till after the election.
Yes Knobby, if Labor call it yippe yi yay, if Libs call it then it is just a good distraction.
The Libs have had 5+ years to do something about the aged care sector. Calling a RC in their death throws is an admission of failure on their part.
It's good that they called it, but it's just a guilty man pleading guilty.
