Once again, the inimitable Don ignores the undoubted evidence of deliberate destabilsation by Abbott and Co ( as also quoted quite correctly above by Radioman), and blames the victim. With the opposition within his own party, Turnbull was on a hiding to nothing.
Don't let the facts get in the way, Don; it spoils your fun of selecting bits, and ignoring the rest. How many politicians, ex-pollies and commentators are you ignoring? Try doing a little research instead of writing tripe.

I'm not ignoring it, I'm saying that it was a side issue and the main event was Malcolm's incompetence and inability to get anything done. Turnbull had lusted after that job since the nineties and when he finally got it he botched it just as badly and the man that he impatiently replaced and also consistently campaigned against behind the scenes for the two preceding years it should be added. What, you think Turnbull didn't deserve to be knifed in exactly the same manner that he knifed Tones? Please.
