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?

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.

So the policies are not the issue, only the person presenting them is. Great! One has to wonder though why the left went batsh*t crazy over those very policies then.

Many of his policies were good. I doubt if he thought them up by himself though. Abbott was cringe-worthy. He was an embarrassment, almost as much as Hockey.

It was not the policies, but the execution of them. His ineptitude. Turnbull inspires more confidence.

I suppose he has to take his time, he is heading a divided party.

He didnt win by a massive landslide, 54 to 44 I think it was.

Yes - let's bury him in the ashes of the past and get on with lambasting the new government until they get their act sorted out.... then if Silent Bill gets a chance at the crease, we'll do the same to him and his cronies until we get them all sorted out.

The prime time game here and now (sonny) is to compare the Turnbull crowd with the Abbott crowd on performance.... not much so far that is positive... wait until they're all back from their Study Tours paid holidays...

Let's see how much they've cost us this year to work out that the Modalempian Hopping Toad is not a threat to the Cane Toad in Queensland and shouldn't be imported... or that the gender equality of Outer Faroffistan and the prime resort of the Faraway Islands compares poorly with Australia... or that our Cities Minister can see some wonderful new ideas coming out of Venezuela...... or that counter terrorism moves in Paris and London for the holiday season give up some good ideas (Christ - we've got SAS seconded to 22 there already).... or the new autobahn from Beijing to Armenia is a wonder to behold especially around The Great Wall area.... or that Washington looks good in snow, meaning that next Winter in Cambra the place could be prettied up..... and our Sports and Rec Min had a good look at Disneyland and then Disneyworld and then Dis Europe while attending the Super Bowl in between....
