Good on him for finally showing a fucking backbone, this is the Malcolm I knew from the late 90’s, when Packer was scared of you then you know what type of ruthless business type this person is.
_Turnbull and Morrison know Dutton does not have the numbers.
Ok scratch that, petition delivered and Malcolm now verifying names and signatures.
Not long to go now.
Malcolm has somewhat confirmed he will resign from parliament thus causing a by-election.
ABC reporting that the Prime Minister has quit the parliament. A by-election will have to be held in his seat. The coalition will no longer have majority when parliament resumes in September.
The ex-Joh era QLD cop, the ex-lawyer who made a dying man die waiting for his asbestos payment, and the happy clapper who thinks he’s going to heaven after detaining children in detention indefinitely.
Anyone who votes LNP/IPA COALition after such a sideshow of moronic proportion is culpable for accepting this new low in Australian politics.
The 2GB and Sky spruikers are going to go ballistic if Scott Morrison or Julie Bishop wins. That was not the script they wrote at all and they are going to have to start the whole thermonuclear war again. Scott Morrison is Malcolm Turnbull’s man. Julie Bishop is Malcolm Turnbull’s patsy, they will say. It will be terrifying but rather sensational to watch at the same time, so long as you are out of spittle range.
Malcolm to quite parliament if a spill occurs. This means there will be a by election. Labor could call for an election on September 10th when Parliament resumes.
Yes I believe it is. There is talks of Tony Abbott’s sister running. Last election Liberal won the seat in the two party preferred by around 35% and by the looks of it has only really ever been a liberal seat or independent seat.
With that said there is talks of a strong independent taking over.
Edit: What are the rules of changing members running seat? How does it work? Could, for example, Dutton run for the seat of Wentworth in the next election?
