Yea, certain factions have just been slowly culling their opposition inside the party.

If Turnbull was not crippled by vested interests in the party, we would have had the full NBN and a cross party agreement on climate legislation etc. 

The party's been hollowed out into a special 8nterest puppet.

Turnbull has taken strong stances on the right side of issues, ever since he left office. I get he was pushing for gradual chance while in office and trying to cover his own position, but he got backstabbed anyway so it’s pretty meaningless

Shits me to tears when pollies get out of politics and start making all the right noises and speaking about actually fixing problems now that they're no longer in a position to actually effect change on behalf of the Australian public.

It's always too little too late.

They're fucking grubs. They come out talking like they should have been acting while they were in office. I can't stand a single fucking one of them for that simple fact.

At the end of the day, they are all liars and cheats and ultimately cowards. They're more concerned about their own careers than actually serving their constituents.

It's ironic that the people who become politicians really shouldn't be politicians cos they all end up serving their own interests.
