Good luck Scomo you're going to need it, 50/50 you will be one of the shortest serving PM's ever, certainly the shortest in modern times.
Funny that this thread opened with a spill and ended with one.54 to 44.
Julie Bishop survives as deputy leader with around 70-odd votes.
That's pretty good odds cynic, they were gone two days ago, I think they were 46/54Good luck Scomo you're going to need it, 50/50 you will be one of the shortest serving PM's ever, certainly the shortest in modern times.
The final act may be Tony Abbot's gay sister running for Wentworth as a Lib.Funny that this thread opened with a spill and ended with one.
Abbott really hated MalcolmThe final act may be Tony Abbot's gay sister running for Wentworth as a Lib.

Turnbull’s “pet fetish” – thinks people will sing hallalujah to climate change. He’s ruined. (Blame Abbott) ...Abbott is an incredibly powerful man. From the backbench he’s creating disunity, stopping legislation, ruining careers, and bringing down Prime Ministers, all just for the fun of it.
This has nothing to do with the 54% of Australians who are skeptics.
Turnbull has lost control of government. He cannot get legislation through the lower house. But hey, if only Abbott wasn’t there, Australians would be happy to buy expensive electricity....
Nice rant from young Turnbull Junior.

Yes and also did to Abbott, what was done to him.
Yet if you read the papers you would think, Mal had been assassinated, Fairfax just about have it as a day of mourning. lol
Sounds like they lost their "bunny" to me.
No I wasn't aware, but then again, I've never heard them.You are aware that Alan Jones and Ray Hadley, two of the most vituperous Dutton supporters, work for Fairfax ?
I absolutely agree with you.I think my primary concern over all of this during the last ten years is our loss of democracy. What is the point of voting anymore .... I used to get that you voted for a party, not the leader but this has become ridiculous.
Ie. I had/have had an opinion of Judd vs Gillard, Abbot vs Turnball, Bishop, Scomo and would/would not have voted for each of them depending on who stood for the leadership at the time of an election. Still pissed at the loss of Bishop more than anything else out of all of this...
To me there is one thing that should instantly be put in place (legislation). Scomo come on down ....
A publicly elected PM should not be able to be ousted by internal party room machinations. The public voted them in and votes them out - simple equation in my mind.
- You want to change leaders. Fine by me but take it to an election.
- PM wants to make a radical decision like send troops to war etc without bi-partisan support. Fine by me but take it to an election.

Yes Rumpy, see you at the booth, how are the Labor how to vote pamphlets going?Yep, I agree with that.
The Prime Minister sets the agenda and direction, decides priorities and who he will listen to is in effect the government and if the electorate decides to vote for what they see as a moderate government then they don't want a right wing upstart taking over (and vice versa) without their permission.
So really, how can you trust a party that is so divided by ideology that they can't guarantee who their leader will be in six months or a years time ?
The Libs are too much of a risk to vote for imo.
