I feel sorry for Australia’s TV comedian Sean Micallef. How can he possibly compete with what is going [text-cat-question] on in Canberra now? Liberal Coalition MPs falling all over themselves trying to work out how to keep their jobs, with what leader?
The general opinion seems to be that only with Malcolm Turnbull as leader can they have a hope in hell of still being in power after the next election – whether or not they boot Tony Abbott out at next Tuesday’s Party Meeting, or further down the track.
But – let’s remember – however silly our current Prime Minister might appear – knighting Prince Philip etc – the reason that Australians are fed up is fundamentally the unfairness of this government’s policies. Columnist Waleed Aly hit the nail on the head, with his incisive Age article Coalition needs a heart transplant, not a facelift
So – let’s remember, too, that Malcolm Turnbull might be a bit more progressive, a bit more subtle, than Tony Abbott – but he’d be still leading the Party with its policies dictated by the Institute of Public Affairs, on behalf of the polluting corporations.
