There is something badly wrong with the federal Liberal party but there is a cure; his initials are RDR.

Peter Costello is married to Tanya Coleman whose father beat Malcolm Turnball in a Wentworth preselection in the 1980’s. Malcolm tried to undermine Peter from the day he entered parliament and tried to hijack the tax reform debate. Now Turnball wants to introduce a new indirect tax that will hit the poor hardest and reduce employment in manufacturing and other blue collar sectors. Seems like a good idea to me. Why introduce a tax that hits the rich and those in white collar occupations?

If Rudd did offer him a Ministry he’d grab it with both hands.He’s definitely low enough.By now he knows he’ll never be Prime Minister but he’s never given up on his Presidential wet dream and thinks by maintaining a political profile he might eventually be a chance.Wanker!

If Hockey leads the Libs, the Nats should walk. There is no point in supporting a dead man walking.

Hockey may be a temporary solution. He’s lighter weight than Turnbull, though just as useless in terms of understanding politics and political issues. He can lead the party perhaps until the election. But since he won’t be able to win it (or to deserve to win it), there needs to be a longer term strategy to replace him after the election defeat with a good candidate this time, one with the prospect of defeating Labor and KRudd at the following election.

this unrest will hurt the Higgins campaign, Labor should have run a candidate, with the Greens help they would have cleaned up

Everyone needs to get behind Joe and focus on the enemey, labor

why does no one speak of Julia Gillards aspirations?

Just spoke to a well connected insider Andy. Malcolm’s gotta go ASAP to prevent him working the phones and offering bribes to the waverers over the weekend. The source also told me Turnbull personally is not a believer in the AGW cult, his stance all just a sham to capture the high ground.
