I'm not sure that he is in that much trouble (just yet anyway). Its a smart play that also shows he has a family while all gillard has is a pocket hairdresser that show tows around like some kind of show poodle.

Noticed gillard has a problem with men. Perhaps its all the sterotyping of males as evil women haters. There is a whole lot of ammo to let loose come election time, just the labor venom towards Rudd was gold.
Labor is scrambling to make anything stick to Abbott without much success. And the desperation to do so shows.
 
Yes, and successful in her own right, despite Labor's desperate striving to paint Tony Abbott as having a problem with successful women.

It looks so weird, so desperate, the missus sitting on the morning TV couch crapping on about how sensitive 1 vote Tony is with Tony sitting right there beside her nodding away.

Well how weird would it look with Timmy sitting there next to madame lash, when the the coalition say Gillard has problems with powerfull men, not hairdressers?
Lets not forget, she had Bowen and Albenese crying and pi$$ing their pants after the last Rudd foray.
Jeez, this following the death cart because it is your calling needs to stop.:D
 
Tony Abbott bashing fails to lift ALP: Newspoll:D:D:D

SUPPORT for the Gillard government has fallen and Tony Abbott's personal position has improved during three weeks of intense political debate about the Opposition Leader's attitude to women.

Electoral backing for Labor and the Coalition has returned to the positions held for most of this year, and voter satisfaction with the way Mr Abbott is doing his job has lifted from an equal record low in the middle of last month.

According to the latest Newspoll survey, conducted exclusively for The Australian on the weekend, Labor's primary vote support has dropped three percentage points to 33 per cent and the Coalition's rose four percentage points to 45 per cent. Primary support for the Greens dropped from 12 to 10 per cent.

Based on preference flows at the 2010 election, the Coalition's two-party-preferred lead has returned to a resounding election-winning lead of eight points, 54 per cent to the ALP's 46 per cent. At the 2010 election, Labor won 50.1 per cent of the two-party-preferred vote and the Coalition 49.9 per cent

This is contrary to what I'd have expected with all the emotional outpourings of sympathy for poor Julia, hurt beyond belief by the vicious cruelty of Alan Jones, plus the astonishing and quite ridiculous level of aligning Tony Abbott with Jones' remarks.

It seems that the electorate, despite the vocal minority, are not as foolish as Labor would wish to believe.

Malcolm Turnbull will probably also be seen for what he is, i.e. someone shoring up his own vote in his own electorate while hoping to get another go at leading the Libs. Hence his support of the twitter etc campaign aainst Jones in a further thinly veiled attempt to undermine Mr Abbott. Mr Turnbull keeps demonstrating that he is not a team player.

What he appears to be is a capable alternative team Leader. As opposed to an acolyte to a rabble rouser, in what's been a much too long conga line of them.( Due deference to ML)

A perception held only by rusted-on Labor/Greens. Turncoats are not team leaders. They are team destroyers. You can have him if you want him. He could join the handbag hit squad.:rolleyes:
 
The Left want Malcolm Turnbull as Liberal Leader because they know that Labor is finished with Tony Abbott running the Coalition show. The latest Newspoll confirms that.

If his last stint as leader is anything to go by, Malcolm Turnbull would be slaughtered politically by Labor. For a start he woild return with a still obvious limp from his previously self inflicted foot wound (Goodwin Gretch).

Orr, you seem to be conveniently overlooking Mr Turnbull's spectacular failure as Liberal leader where he showed a woeful lack of political nous in the Godwin Grech debacle as drsmith cites.

Calliope is correct in saying it's you Labor acolytes that so like Malcolm Turnbull. Imo the Libs would be better off without him. Turnbull, Labor knows, could be easily moulded into what Labor want.

+1 Turnbull is a waste of space, Labor would love to have him as leader of the Libs, they'd make mincemeat of him.
Gillard is getting bent out of shape at Tony again, she is really coming over as a nasy piece of work.
Funny how Swan has shut up again, he must have read his own polling results.
It will be interesting what stupid spin he is going to put on interest rates falling, unemployment rising and debt spiralling.

Also, he is twice as popular among Liberal voters as Abbott.
Everyone but the loony right would prefer him.

Thanks, even though so egregiously and offensively stated.
 
"I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man [Mr Abbott], not now, not ever," (Gillard) told the house.

What an amazing dummy spit by her highness. She just hates being wrong and when she is caught out she attacks with vitriol and fury. Another approach could be admitting that she misjudged the Slippery one and cutting him lose. I mean she had no issue with taking out Rudd for perceived character flaws; both as Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.

'By this man'; she cannot even speak Abbott's name out loud any more. The allegations of sexism and misogyny against a leader of the Opposition are unprecedented, even for this age of ruthless character assasination (on both sides of politics). So now we can add Gillard and Roxon's gender warfare to Swan's class warfare for this, the most divisive government I can ever remember.

Slipper has to go. We cannot let this vulgar man continue as the Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives. Gillard needs to let go of her ego and act in the nation's best interest. Shameful ...

Looney Right?

Oh Knobby that does not work without the alliteration. It's the Looney Left and always will be. ;)

...which is where Turnbull rightfully belongs. :p:

Seriously though, I keep testing slightly left of center on those politics tests and I wouldn't p1ss on Turnbull if he was on fire. There are aspects of Abbott I dislike, but give me Abbott over Turnbull every day, all day.
