ABC website:

"Nationals leader Warren Truss says the Opposition backbench was not properly consulted on an infrastructure bill last week"

Turnbull not good at consulting. Keep doing that and two rightwing parties will become 3

The problem is that Turnbull is so full of himself and so used to making his own decisions after working in the private sector - he just can't consult others as a matter of procedure. He's always going to have this problem. It's a good quality generally - but not in government where there are too many toes that can be trodden on. He's probably too old now to adapt to being an employee of the people.

So it's a good thing if politicians are careful to check if any of their donors are going to get upset over a bill?

Yes - especially as the Nationals helped keep the coalition in power for so long. Unfortunately they still need each other.

It is a good thing if decisions by the leadership are communicated to the backbench. Turnbull and his ego probably will struggle there.

Sorry for being verbose.

Fuck yourself, Dita.

With the arrogant insults that have come from your hole towards me, completely unprovoked, you can go fuck yourself if you think I have the time of day for you.

Stuck up chardonay socialist fuckwad. Folks like you, all opinion and no work, are the reason Australia is such a desperate fucking mess.

Now THAT I would call a tanty :)

So who do you think would be a good leader for the rabble that is the Opposition now?
