The Turnbull Government

[basilio]

If the Liberal party wanted to make any pretence of including its broad church in the picture Julie Bishop would be floated as PM.

It will be interesting to see if she is still Deputy after the fracas. This would be the minimal nod a new PM could make to the non Dutton/Abbotts in the party.

Any bets on the immediate return of Cory Bernardi to a New Right Liberal Party?

Most of the Govt didn't turn up to QT today. How ironic that the party that once abolished sick leave from the IR laws has taken sick leave today whilst everyday Aussies are still working

Yes but where would they go ? Labour ? Green? One Nation ? Reborn Australian Democrats ?

Independant or a new Centre party.

These guys really are behaving worse than a bunch of preschoolers....it disgusts me to tears to think my taxes are paying for this rubbish. I'd take their heads off if i could!

That's one angry bear.

For very good reason though, it's disgusting.

Energy policy is kryptonite to Malcolm Turnbull. And it has happened again.
A stream of deserters has been traipsing in and out of the PMs office, last night and this morning. The government has cancelled Question Time this afternoon.
Scott Morrison is rumoured to be a candidate in the likely event of another spill.

Given the apparent distaste for Peter Dutton from the majority of average punters on the street that I've spoken to, it makes you wonder why the majority if Liberal pollies are seemingly happy to promote him to the King table

Are they all that out of touch with reality or just a pack of sheep! Either way, PD as leader indicates they could all end up as lamb roast

 

[Craton]

Dutton, like Shorten will never get my vote.

Yep, worse than disgusting. Morons acting in their own self delusional interests instead of what is best for this great country and for the great unwashed therein. Idiots!

 

[McLovin]

So Mal will leave Parliament and force a by-election. I'm going to enjoy kicking the LP in the teeth at that vote. They can go f**k themselves.

The right of the LP are so out of touch with reality. They feed on Sky News and 2GB and think that's what mainstream Australia is.

17% margin in Wentworth to the Libs so it won't be easy for Labor to win, but not impossible.

Mal carries a fair bit of that vote. He is locally a pretty popular politician. When he won the seat in 2004 the margin was 5%. In the 2013 election there was no LP branding on the posters put up, because Abbott was so on the nose. Dutton is considered a joke around here.

And coming from the same party that's always keen to claw back a few cents that might have been overpaid to some pensioner or unemployed person.

Suffice to say that whilst I'd rather not have people sitting on the dole and not making an effort, those doing so are a minority and of far less concern than the massive waste or resources that's being brought about by these clowns in parliament.

Nothing I've seen leads me to think that the Liberals are here to represent the interests of the average Australian or indeed anyone not from the big end of town.

That's not to say Labor's much better but it's probable that they could at least provide us with a stable government for a while and get something done.

They already have. And I'm hoping the main culprit of this sorry affair will lose his seat of
Warringah at the next election. It's for that reason alone I'm putting Libs last on my vote

Not surprised at Bishop emerging, the vibe of her smile had me feeling she's been lurking for a long time.

Anyone else but Dutton is going to come under pressure from the Right Wing and will be destabilised as Turnbull was. I don't think the Right will be happy with Bishop or Morrison for long.

They need a good spell on the Opposition benches to work out who they really are.

Mal Turnbull should simply resign and go and lead the Labour Party and we'd all be fine …. Ok that was a bit silly

 

[Toyota Lexcen]

The Liberals are going quite well, economy improving slowly, people have jobs
