Tony has to be the worst PM we have ever had.

Not even the rightards on here would deny that fact now.

Hard to believe that such an incompetent idiot made it to that office.

Just a reward for service to the party - he did after all, play the role of the head kicker, and oversaw the slush fund to do down Pauline Hanson, whose policies Wee Johnny stole and enhanced.

What other credentials do you need to become PM in this country?

Now Joey - a rip-off artist whose maternal grandmother used North Shore property investments to procure millions and nearly took an infarction when she was forced to pay tax on income.... well - that's a prime candidate for Treasurer.

Goes to show what politics in this country is really all about, eh?

Reality sucks, yes?

Not many can tell 6 lies in 25 words though. Tony set a new lying standard that may never be bettered. If it were not for Howard Tony would be the undisputed king of lies.

he was unpopular because he was a dumba55 with really sh1t policies and had no idea how to govern. Tony has to be the worst PM we have ever had. A used condom would make a better PM than Tony ever did.

Why has Turnball retained many, if not all, of his policies then?

Has he? Which ones? The only ones he's retained are about gay marriage and that's to keep people who only partake in missionary and don't have anal sex on a semi regular basis from getting angry.

It was the condition that the Liberals who voted for him had put on their votes.

Abbott was dumped not because he was incompetent but because the electorate had woken up to his lies and they believed he could not win an election with the baggage he was carrying.

His party wanted Abbotts policies with a different leader. Om policy Turnbull has his hands tied.
