He's a good speaker but it's hard to take him seriously about anything when he went from "I will not lead a party that is not as serious on climate change as I am" as Opposition Leader, to "We're doing enough on climate change, and coal's not that bad anyway" as PM, to "Coal is dying and trying to delay its death is sacrificing renewable jobs" after he was out of parliament Also, he failed to mention he set up a Medicare Privatisation Taskforce to look at the viability of selling parts of Medicare (I think they said the phone system could be outsourced) which was what gave MediScare credibility. And right before he gave this speech his own party spread a "Death Tax" lie about Labor and other things; something that was never Labor policy, and also targeted old people. They sure did learn from MediScare!

Honestly it feels like he would've made a decent conservative Labor member if he'd actually stuck to credibility as his focus. As PM it seemed like most of his job was just attempting to quell infighting and maintain his position rather than make any genuine policies

The cost of news production has not come down at all. The cost of substitutes for news have come down. Quality newsgathering, especially investigative journalism, is more expensive than ever. Hence the dearth of real journalism today. It's very sad, very dangerous, and we will very much regret letting journalism die at some point in the future.

This guy was a hopeless campaigner which is the reason he nearly lost the 2016 election, having inherited a huge majority from his predecessor. He was hopelessly Sydney-centric. Any Sydney or NSW cause was given his immediate attention while stalling or ignoring any request more distant, particularly the most distant from Sydney. He was good at enterprise but again, it became a reason to favour his own State showing that he was never a republican sympathiser but in reality he was a States rightest for NSW.

Mr. Turnbull's compromise about a same-sex marriage postal survey was seen domestically as an unnecessary sideshow, so that by the time that it passed, he received no credit for it. It was felt as though it became law despite his party's efforts, and since he was the leader of the party, despite him.

Malcolm has ideas and speaks with substance, although perhaps a bit vengeful towards his opponents (and fatally perceived as such). When a power hierarchy displaces a competence hierarchy in a political system, a country can go nowhere fast. Australia faces that risk. Most voters appear to vote for those who make announcements that make them feel good. They'd be better off voting for someone who can actually fix the problems. You would not want a plumber coming into your home making announcements on how he will fix all the pipes, only to leave prematurely with the pipes leaking.

Jason Cheung I’m not advocating for no democracy, to be clear. Certainly do not want to go down the big brother China approach. But people need to wire their brains to focus more on people’s arguments rather than obsess with their political or other identity. That’s an easy cop out.

It's interesting how Malcolm talks about the antipathy in the US for Hillary Clinton. I think the same forces were against him in Australia. Rarely do I see a comment focusing on the details of his ideas, just on what they think of him as a person.

@@edneycelebrations2576 maybe you should dig a little deeper, Dutton WAS the dagger, Morrison was the hand that drove it. Even the right of the Liberal party know that the electorate wouldn't vote for Dutton, he was not electable then and remains so now. Morrison manoeuvred to get rid of Turnbull and Bishop at a single stroke. If Dutton had real support, he'd be treasurer or, indeed, Prime Minister.
