I read yesterday that Abbott was polling so poorly in the 'AFL States' that the party power-brokers saw him continuing as a zero-sum game; somebody, anybody, in his shoes to save total electoral annihilation.
CFMEU is up and about too - I bet they knew this last week. They have an uphill battle with shorten as their horse.

I think Julie has her weaknesses too (of course, all leaders do). Turnbull isn't the perfect answer but I really am enjoying this moment. I can't stand Abbott, so I'm thrilled that he might be squirming a little (hopefully, a LOT).Gin&Tonic wrote:Malcolm Turnbull is better than Abbott but not the best choice for the liberals. I'd be happy for Julie bishop to take the top job. I'd even vote for her at next election.
Australia still needs to find a strong leader from somewhere for the future. Everyone is tired of this nonsense in Australia.

Funny as hell - Kennett's going nuts RE Turnbull's "self centred" nature. Talk about Pot. Kettle. Black.
[edit] Ballot tonight - the mad monk pugilist wont go down without a fight, to his credit.
There's more whipping than the British navy going on now - Morrison and (Julie) Bishop MIA. Not sayin nuffink.

i think there are possibly more people who would vote for Julie than for Malcolm.
I gloated big time at the news today. Rejoiced. Then saw Abbott speaking and felt sorry for him on a human level. I'm a big softy. (still glad he's going)

yes, I just saw Jeff Kennett speak. He has a point to a degree, but I don't think Turnbull is doing this for his personal gain (only). I think it is about the party and retaining control.

I do like Jeffrey - wonderfully uncontrollable. What does he expect the Libs to do ? Suck it up and lose almost every seat in the house ?violet wrote:Petrol Head wrote:Funny as hell - Kennett's going nuts RE Turnbull's "self centred" nature. Talk about Pot. Kettle. Black.

Abbott has got some serious balls - every single Coalition member will be madly canvassing which way the other is voting right now. Who would vote for Abbott if they know the numbers are resoundingly against him ? Doing so would be voting themselves out of a job.
This could be a complete bloodbath for Abbott.

What a circus politics is in this country, whatever happens tonight it's the perfect time for a third force, something like Don Chipps Democrats who once held the balance of power with the slogan of "keeping the bastards honest", there really is a golden opportunity to feed on the discontent of all voters with these muppets! And as for myself, I can't believe I'm sitting here watching the ABC hoping that Malcolm fucking Turnbull will be our next prime minister! Oh the pain!

The really sad part is I'd be just as nauseated if it was a battle between Shorten and whatever other union hack the ALP could throw up, I'm so tired of all of these fuckwits! I'm tired of the electorate being treated like idiots, oh here we go!
