    It would be an own goal for Liberal supporters to punish Coalition delinquency by rejecting Dave Sharma in Wentworth, writes @chriskkenny https://trib.al/4pIEC8J  #auspol

        No disclosure that Kenny is a close friend and former colleague of @DaveSharma. Dishonest journalism. And condescending to the voters of #WentworthVotes by portraying them as posh and vacuous. BTW Does Chris live in Wentworth?

        And another OWN Goal, Liberals lost their way completely, and to listen to Tony Abbott’s sister stating what a mess they are in was disgraceful weak journalism.....the question not asked was why has he been so destructive and for so bloody long.....

        A bigger own goal not to take the voter punishment coming for the Liberal delinquency.

        Needs a general election to sort out the mess. Dare them go to polls early.

        If they don't vote for the Liberal candidate they are not Liberal supporters. So no own goal, we must accept they know what they are doing.
