Death of the Liberals
Today's T shirt. A memorial to the Aussie Liberal party.
Unnoticed, it seems by the Aussie Press, John Howard's legacy has been the destruction of his party. The current Opposition are running around trying to join up with the failing Nationals in a bid to distance themselves from the Howard era.
With not much success so far. Who knows what the new brand will be but you can bet it wont be the current name.
Poor Dr Nelson has managed single digit approval ratings although he appears to have reached the dizzying heights of 10% of late. The next assumed cab off the rank is Malcolm Turnbull who thinks he might be the Messiah but his efforts so far suggest he might suffer a tad of overconfidence.
I thought Malcolm might be the man when he first threw his hat in the ring but he seems to be missing something. Like a connection with the real world. His efforts to claim the National Wage case had a set dollar value from a Government Department was pretty silly.
If he had had more experience in government he would not have made this error but that wasn't the serious problem. The real eye opener was he persisted with the claim even after the department took the unusual step of publicly refuting the claim. It harkens back to an arrogant Howard who couldn't accept the real world.
If young Malcolm takes the leadership of whatever the Libs morph into, he looks like easy pickings for a sharp operator like Kevin 07.
