the hysteria now is to avoid scrutiny of the emails that have been released...and those emails do prove that Rudd lied on June 4th...when he said he had no infor about Grant...
when in fact the emails reveal he did enquire and was advised on the grant progress...in Feb
When Kevin Rudd was in opposition he apparently obtained and used leaks to do exactly the same thing he is now accusing Turnbull of....
how about that...news today said Rudd turned up in parliament with leaks about the AWB.....and refused to reveal who his leaks were....

Peter Costello...where are you
Labor will probably succeed. They have mobilised government agencies (including the ABC) and services to dig up every bit of dirt on Turnbull. Like a modern day Galahad, Turnbull rode to the rescue of the Liberal left who are just a bunch of softies. Abbot is the only one who is capable of fighting back.Understand what is happening here. This is a concerted and co-ordinated Labor campaign to turn the public against Turnbull on character grounds and ensure that he is unelectable as prime minister. For Labor, it is the ultimate insurance. With Costello going, the Liberals have no more options: it is Turnbull or the bush. Even if unemployment does reach 8.5 per cent, the public will not vote for a change of government unless it trusts Turnbull. The more Labor's attack makes progress, the more scope it has to broaden the narrative to include aspects of Turnbull's business past.
If you hold to the Opposition line, then you have a point.And now the precedent has been set. It is OK to mislead (lie to) Parliament and the people. It wll be open slather for the next four or five years.
Mr Turnbull's heroic performance some minutes ago on the 7.30 Report prove that he can put both feet in his mouth at once. I applaud the man.
This whole thing has become an example of how not to answer a question.
If there's anything illegal of improper about this let the AFP dig it out, you certanly wont get too many confessions.
I noticed earlier in thread someone accused you of being a Liberal Party staffer?
Is that true? If not, what do you do for a crust?
Ex real estate agent now in IT, I'm not right wing either but vote where the common sense lies, it's usually more apparent in the Libs
Databases, programming, networks...may I ask?
I'm an ex-transport worker but now I work part-time in education.
I build, run and sometimes sell successful web sites I guess would be the easiest way to put it.
Innovative, hats off to you.
Thanks Gumby, it's paid off very well.
I wonder if Mr Turnbull takes a look at his own performance after he comes off the 7.30 Report. If not, surely some of his colleagues or advisers should put him straight about what a complete disaster it was. He hit completely the wrong note at the start by attempting to make a joke of the whole affair, particularly the Albanese reference to Mark Latham, and (especially in the face of O'Brien's serious demeanour) he fell flat on his face.
I don't think I've ever seen a more embarrassing performance by the leader of a political party.
