Heef 166 Posted August 23, 2018 NZ press reporting that Turnbull will resign his seat if he loses the premiership. Could result in an early election. Would be hilarious if Dutton lost his marginal seat. Guy's an absolute grub. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thatcher 2,470 Posted August 24, 2018 The whips are independently verifying each and every signature on the petition?! Good God, Malcolm Turnbull will certainly leave deep nail marks in the Prime Minister's desk as he tries to cling to power, that's for sure. It really is becoming a farce. Hope the politicians sort themselves out for the sake of the decent people of Australia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a profile of Scott Morrison: http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-24/scott-morrisons-rise-to-prime-minister-of-australia/10160458?pfmredir=sm We have a general election within the next six months, and they will probably lose after this fiasco, so he won't be around for long before we have another PM!

Heef 166 Posted August 24, 2018 Kind of disappointed that Dutton didn't win. I could have expected the hard right of the Libs to be annihilated in a snap election. Less likely now, I suspect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
