        How about you release another #Newspoll and we will see how persuasive he actually is. Meanwhile...

        The current PM is the uninspiring man-of-jelly @TurnbullMalcolm. His policy paralysis kills jobs and growth. #auspol

        See this crap? You paid $75 BILLION for it! That's how much it cost Turnbull to bribe Murdoch for this wall to wall pro LNP propaganda. Downside? You're now stuck with the world's slowest net.

        The more Nick Cater tries to persuade us his commentary is of import, the less persuasive he becomes!

        From my thinking, Bill has not attacked this mob with any real venom. Compare this to the way the Lib attacked @JuliaGillard PM., it seems too timid.

        You can say that again!! I Hawke was the man for the time, Shorten sorry to say is a populist & clueless and that’s on a good day! Looks like economic disaster will be the byproduct if Shorten becomes PM 😬
