And yet even more.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-03-30/jericho-2010-all-over-again/7283468

Although given it is from the ABC, the lib supporters will do some sort of "attack the messenger" or the like.

dont know about you guys... I dont expect them to all get along...

I cant stand YES MEN..

but I for one do not expect after a take over like Turnbull has done..

I well I just dont expect anything else.. he has split the party just like shortarse did..TWICE.

almost anyone of worth left the labor party after that..

so nothing surprises me anymore.

politics in this country has just plain gone down hill..

which saddens me and from what I read many Liberal...

you lefties gloat. of course you do..

you dont believe in winning fair and square...

you are more about winning at all costs....

there are still a few libs who believe in doing the right thing..

and Turnbull didnt do the right thing.. he did the WORST thing as far as a Lib is concerned...

and we wont forgive him...

unlike you guys..

Incredibly sad - Libs have exceeded the infighting and excess' of the previous labor government and still rusted on hold them up. Some of their politicians and supporters have even exceeded the corruption of those from the left! How's that house for Sinodinos going? Barry is going to the house warming with a bottle of red, the ex treasurer of the Libs in vic is donating the brown paper bag he stole the 1.5 mill in and tony and peta are performing excepts from " the last tango in Paris". BYO butter

Lib in-fighting?

my only question is why the question mark? The in fighting is obvious, it's not a question of if, but for how long will it continue

;D ;D ;D

Its nice to see Terry Barnes squirming - he's the guy who came up with the moronic $7 GP co-payment

Not all happy in the Coalition at the state level as well.
From the link:
"Nationals leader Terry Redman previously supported the sale. His change of heart comes after likely pressure from provincial backbenchers who still recall the sale of the WA government-owned country rail network to Brookfield, a global infrastructure company based in Canada. That left grain farmers with failing infrastructure and rising costs to get their grain to global markets."

Looks like privatisation did not work well...again.

More conflicts to come I suppose.

It sounds like a prentious sob story to be honest. Libs stabbed each other in the back countless times in the past.....yeah yeah, the reds have been good at it too. The first removal of a PM in their first term was Rudd, followed closely by Abbott. Both parties are guilty, and trying to depict one as more principled over the other was shattered once 54 liberal MP's voted to rightfully kick Phoney's ass to the curb! Both parties entered unchartered waters in a quick space of time.
