Mr Turnbull is the fourth Australian PM in a decade to be ousted by colleagues.

So how long is this "good for the country and good for the world dude" gonna last? LOL.

Read up a bit. The Aus PM role is in complete choas.

This is the 4th or 5th PM in a row to be ousted by his own party, not by voters. Turnbull himself was in office as he lead a coup previously. No reason to think this will be the last, and not a good situation for a key ally.

You just like this new guy because he's famously anti-immigrant.

Just gets better all the time.
Look at the efforts by the Democrats to overturn a legal 2016 election here in this country.

The BBC article linked has a very good timeline. Abbott was ousted by Turnbull who was ousted by Morrison.

The older PM was Rudd who was Labor.

With so many election laws violations, coverups and Russian hacking which the candidate who won paid for in "tech services" only a kool-aid drinking junkie would call it "legal".

It is as if he is kept in some sort of a coma; not conscious of the world around him, and then is unleashed to blabber some nonsensical reaction to a world he does not remotely comprehend.

It's good to see that Dutton got upset, but at the same time, appointing a social conservative PM who vocally opposes same-sex marriage right after that was legalized by an overwhelming majority represents a significant disconnect between the political leadership and the people.

It was Cohen that was convicted, not the President, but nice try.

There have not be any efforts to "overturn" the 2016 election, but it's interesting that you would try to represent a legal investigation into campaign fraud and abuses that way.
You mean Hillary and the DNC paying foreign interests for the Steele Dossier? Yep I think it needs to be prosecuted also.

You realize the right wingers lost right? They had been white anting for months finally cased a spill and then lost the spill to a centralist which is what Turnbull was anyway.... The right wing media hacks are fuming, it is fucking hilarious :)

Democrats haven't really done anything regarding the election of 2016 yet. They have no power to do so, you see?

All of the effort--the investigation into criminal matters relating to the president's campaign and to his family are are coming from a team of highly effective republicans, many of whom he appointed himself, uncovering this information....oh, and his own trusted people. And of course the man himself and his family...you know, the crimes they are responsible for.

No democrats involved, yet. Show me something that democrats have actually done to overturn the election. Actions, not words.

How those indictments smelling, grenade boy?

And when he is impeached I wonder what crazy loones you will be yappering on here then.. I am guessing none, cause you'll take the cowards way out and just disappear. Prove me wrong.

I keep reading this but nothing is getting through. It is English, isn't it?

White anting is an Aussie term which means breaking apart from the inside. Consider that and the causing the spill and I'm sure you'll get it.

I've served with some Aussies quite a while ago, decent people they were.
