Pretty clear that The Australian and it's owner have arrived at the same conclusion as many Lib voters.
I didn’t think The Australian and it's owner would want a Labor Government back in Canberra. But every gibe they make against the current Government will only encourage voters to deliver in spades at the next election what they would not normally wish for.
Strange?
Yes, but maybe not for the reason you may think.
Murdoch is just trying to install someone responsive to his own interests, and I have a feeling he may have come to a "gentleman's" agreement over media ownership with Turnbull or someone else and is doing his bit to undermine the current leadership, after which when he gets his own Liberal leader he will support them to the hilt.

The two parts of that post go together to form its broader theme.I don't know why you're going on about this. I don't think I'm obliged to comment on every part of all of your posts.
As it happens, I don't entirely agree with the latter part of your original post (the top two paragraphs from which I responded to), perhaps unusually because I more often than not do agree with you and make that clear.
So I just expressed what I feel strongly about, ie the unfairness of people living in multi million dollar homes and drawing full pension when a perfectly reasonable option like a reverse mortgage exists.
I don't care whether it's popular or not to change the status quo. Part of the reason we're in the current situation is the vote buying by successive governments in handing out tax cuts, middle class welfare etc, to the point where it has become an expectation.
It's time for the government, whether Labor or Liberal, to have the courage to take some unpopular decisions and for the opposition and the Senate to start being realistic in support.
Just my, of course.
A future PM was on the ABC's Insiders this morning and it wasn't David Marr.

You mean bruiser? And you thought Tony Abbott had trouble with female voters.
I don't know, I'm not a woman and I usually vote Labor, but I thought Morrison was impressive on Insiders. Direct and to the point, whereas Abbott with his shifty eyes always seems to be trying to hide something.
He may be a generation away from being PM but I think he has a chance, especially with the lack of talent the Libs currently have.
He's justifiably regarded as a bully/thug within the Canberra bubble. It wouldn't take long for that to come out if he was leader. Think Campbell Newman but with less charm.

Yes, he has huge problems calling a spade a spade.
There is no way, people want to hear that.
Much better to adopt the, suck up to the press and any one else that wants to bitch about tough times.
Then again he would have a hard time sucking up to the Indonesians, he may have to employ Kev to do that.
Bolt certainly seems keen on him, and that can't hurt.SP,there is one thing I would say about him, he knows how to handle the left wing socialist media...He runs rings around them.
