Blot is livid:
Quote:Yet everything about his challenge rang false, including the timing — just four days before a by-election in the Perth seat of Canning.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MALCOLM TURNBULL
And that timing says it all about Turnbull. He put his own interests above his party’s, sabotaging not just the Government with his leaks and digs, but now also sabotaging a by-election campaign by a great Liberal candidate, former SAS captain Andrew Hastie.
The latest two polls show Canning would have been won comfortably by the Liberals, despite weeks of destabilising leaks by supporters of Turnbull and his partner in assassination, Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop.
I suspect that is why Turnbull called the challenge, in case the Canning result was good and his case for immediate change wrecked.
So let’s analyse Turnbull’s laughable claims on Monday to be the man to take over the Government.
At his press conference, he claimed Abbott had “not been successful in providing the economic leadership our nation needs”.
Really? Under Abbott there was no mad Labor-style Budget blowout or pink batts disaster. His failings have not been in administering but in selling; not in doing, but in seeming.
True, the Senate, thanks to Labor and the Greens, has blocked the deeper Budget cuts we need, but would Turnbull have any more success in cutting handouts?
(no link, behind paywall)
No Budget blowout??? Debt doubled in just 2 years! If the Senate had passed the 2014 or 2015 Budget we would be in recession with over 10% unemployment—and the Budget even deeper in the red.
