TURNBULL URGES LIB MPS TO DESTROY THE GOVERNMENT

 Malcolm Turnbull now tries to destroy the Liberals: "Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has been texting and calling Liberal MPs to urge them to refer Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to the High Court... Turnbull has told his former colleagues, they should cross the floor of the House and vote with Labor."  What a vicious and selfish man.

 Malcolm Turnbull now tries to destroy the Liberals, in revenge for sacking him three weeks ago:  

Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull has been texting and calling Liberal MPs to urge them to refer Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to the High Court... Turnbull has told his former colleagues, they should cross the floor of the House and vote with Labor to force a referral of the Dutton case.

Turnbull wants to destroy Dutton for challenging him. In doing so, he will destroy new Prime Minister Scott Morrison, too. If Dutton falls, Morrison's Government will lose its majority. The controversy Turnbull is causing should also cost the Liberals Turnbull's seat of Wentworth. Goodbye, government.

What a selfish, vindictive man. It is so in character for him to want to burn down the house in spite.

We've already seen from other family members that a Liberal party not led by Turnbull is, to them, not a party worth voting for. Turnbull's son is helping raise cash for the Labor candidate in Wentworth, his daughter is tweeting against the Liberals, Turnbull is refusing to campaign for his  successor in Wentworth, and leaks of Cabinet discussion from very close to Turnbull have destabilised Morrison for the past two weeks.

The Liberals should be very clear about this: they are not now paying for having sacked Turnbull. They are paying for making him leader in the first place. What were they thinking when they made a Labor-lite man the leader of the Liberals, and let him drag them to the Left with his global warming obsession?

Turnbull fatally crippled the Liberals in his three years on top,losing 16 seats in the election, losing all five byelections in July, losing every Newspoll in his last 23 months and losing the Liberals' political compass.

Pro-Turnbull journalists may crow that Turnbull is doing no more than  did Tony Abbott, whom they accused of "sniping" after his own sacking.

They will lie. Tony Abbott only spoke out about policy, and only after it was clear that Turnbull's policies were wrong, unpopular and unlikely to lead to victory - all of which proved true. Abbott's interventions were always justified with the argument that the Liberals would be stronger if they followed his advice, whether on electricity, emissions cuts or immigration. 

Malcolm Turnbull's intervention, just weeks after his fall,  is exactly the opposite. This is not policy driven, but deeply personal.  If followed, Turnbull's advice would kill the government, not cure it. 

Abbott aimed to build the Liberal Party; Turnbull aims only to destroy it.

That's the difference between these two men, right there. Shame on every Liberal MP who was complicit in the rise of Turnbull, who now symbolises perfectly the rot on the Right.

UPDATE

Let us hope Morrison will now feel free to finally explain why Turnbull had to go and why Morrison is by far the better leader of a Liberal party.

He should have said this on Monday. Let us hope he now says this, belatedly, on Thursday.
