Jan 3^rd, 2016 at 7:51am

I didn't know half the stuff about this bloke that I've learned from the unauthorised biography Born to Rule.
I would say he is far & away the most interesting character we've had as PM in my life and probably the one with the most varied experience.
But he may not be the one with the most solid character traits, although he does come across as a person with more maturity now.
Do your character flaws ever really go away though?

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

I think that any character flaw gets magnified once you become PM. Just look at what happened to Tony Abbott.

In Turnbull's case i don't think we will be able to properly judge him until he has won this years election and rules with a mandate from the electorate.

The Right Wing only believe in free speech when they agree with what is being said.

do you think that will change anything....REALLY?..

I believe what you see is what you will get...

to me he walks around almost as if he is above everyone looking down ....its an air of arrogance....

he is where he is MEANT to be as far as he is concerned...

just like kruddy this is all I DESERVE...you are lucky to have me...

yeah right..
