Its five big shareholders showed no interest in an equity market driven recapitalisation even though the Queensland government promised $200 million in support.
The Liberal party claims to celebrate success, but one of the most capable PM's it had in terms of business and legal expertise, not to mention intelligence was cast out like a dog.
I just find that disgusting.
That's what happens in all political Parties when the incumbent wont step aside, I remember a horrible divorce when Bob Hawke was heave hoed by Paul Keating back in 1991, there was a lot of bad blood after that.
Also lets not forget poor old Kev and Julia, then Kev again, politics are never nice.
The trouble poor old Malcolm had, he was popular with the left wing media, not so popular with mainstream coalition voters he really would have been a better Labor leader than a Liberal leader IMO.
He may well have been a long term PM for the Labor Party, had they chosen to take him onboard, in the first place.
He was just a poor fit for a coalition leader, in the current demographics, don't forget Labor are getting a strong yuppie, inner city chardonnay set following.
Malcolm would fit like a hand in a glove at the moment, politics/demographics and people are always in a state of flux and at the moment the conservatives have a strong working class following they seem to think Malcolm is a silver spoon dick from what I heard.
Just my opinion.
I certainly wouldn't call the recent coalition party right wing, I think Abbott was trying to push it that way, but everyone can make up their own minds on that.The party of Menzies was much more in the centre than the Libs of today which has lurched to the Right and now cuddles up to big business rather than the voters.
As for "silver spoons", Turnbull wasn't born with one in his mouth, he had to earn it, and people who aren't as successful as he is resent that.
He certainly came across as a me, me, me and the excerpts from his book appear to confirm it IMO.Vaucluse Public School and then Sydney Grammar ..scarcely down at heel in a Sydney context our Malcolm.
An only child, whose mother left when he was 9, I think this had a big formative influence. He has that only child feeling about him
From memory, hasn't Australia signed an agreement to access the U.S oil reserves, basically they are a holding facility for our reserves?Our government would be stupid not to take advantage of the current situation and get our fuel reserves up to full capacity, 90 days is the standard I believe, where we currently have about 20.
That is right SP which is an improvement on the past but I do think we need to have enough here to keep us running for at least 6 weeks while the USA ships it over.From memory, hasn't Australia signed an agreement to access the U.S oil reserves, basically they are a holding facility for our reserves?
Most of what Turnbull said rang true to me.

Agree but massive bulk storage is always an issue, the U.S pump it into depleted oil fields.That is right SP which is an improvement on the past but I do think we need to have enough here to keep us running for at least 6 weeks while the USA ships it over.
Turnbull's book actually brings something else into question IMO.
Turnbull indicates the time Abbott was P.M, his female head of staff Peta Credlin was running the Country.
Here is an excerpt from an interview with Malcolm:
https://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20200403/pdf/44gp4gp7kytzgj.pdf
“Well, I mean, you were really dealing with Peta and Peta was running the country and that was obvious, and dominating Abbott,” the former prime minister told 7.30’s Leigh Sales.
“So it was as though she felt, ‘I've created you, you're my creation’, and she felt she owned him. It was a bizarre – a truly bizarre – relationship.”
If that is true, IMO it brings into question Julia Gillard's misogynist speach, saying Abbott is a male chauvinist pig.
Someone is definitely telling porkies.
Now that is what I call disgusting.
I don't know about an affair, but I never got the impression he was in any way sexist, the opposite if anything Leigh Sales used to slap him up hill and down dale he never once was discourteous.Tell it to some of Abbott's former colleagues.

Now Julia, well I would love to have seen anyone talk her down, IMO there was more likely hood of her being a misandrist, than Tony being a misogynist.
It would be great if Tim wrote his memoirs.
Peta Credlin wasn't chief of staff until well after that speech. I don't agree with Turnbull about Credlin "running" Abbott. At best she could be accused of pulling him along by his e-wang to fulfill her own political ambitions.Turnbull's book actually brings something else into question IMO.

JG"s speech in Parliament, was to grandstand and give her exposure, for life after politics IMO.JGs speech in Parliament was to highlight hypocrisy by Abbott
Tony Abbott was given fair warning by the party. He wouldn't or couldn't listen.Tell it to some of Abbott's former colleagues.

After reading that, I still think it was misdirected at Abbott, who by the finger pointing it was directed at.Ok... well here's everything about the speech and what was behind it, in front and both sides of it.
Punters can make up their own mind about the intent
