"It should be something which is earned by a vote of the Australian people." hahah as has been shown this is not even what happens the top job is decided by the party vote. We've had no real say in any of this show, and as per usual the 4th estate for the most part have avoided the real meaty issues. A year out from the next federal election really thought this would of happened sooner given the slumps in polling given that obviously the lnp wish to re work their image, if turnbull can move towards a centrist approach perhaps but personally doubtful an ex goldman sachs millionaire banker doesnt inspire much hope especially with his handy work with the NBN. Looks like smoking joe is out and probably was always set to be the fall guy for poor economic performance/deficit issues, and the religious tough man morrison is in... le sigh.
