Leadership spill

As an outside observer, can I just say, what is it with y'all's politicians and political backstabbing? It seems like internal maneuvering and factional infighting is a really major theme in Australian politics in a way that's much more pronounced than most places. Even reading about older political events, it seems like there's a constant hum of leadership challenges, palace intrigues, etc. Is that a correct analysis, and is there in your mind any reason for it?

I mean I appreciate it as an outside observer, because it's very entertaining, and it seems to be done with a certain amount of style. But it seems very distinct.

Idk it's not like I paid much attention as a teen so I don't know how common the "back stabbing" is, beyond the past couple of years after, what, 12 years of the one person?

But I'd prefer backstabbing over being forced to be stuck with a PM who fails over and over.

Pssst anon at this point the memes are the best part

Tempted to hang some onions on my door but fear that will draw our leader closer to me.

It's beautiful to watch. I dislike Turnbull, but he is such a sassy, sassy bastard.

Bye Tony! You will not be missed.
I love that Bishop is supporting this. This is better entertainment than the Bachie.
Betrayal. Betrayal everywhere.

Did anyone not see this coming? Anyone?

I love how Shorten has just been casually at the centre of a union scandal, and he's still polling ahead of Tony.

I'm not bored of this yet.
Actually I'm still not bored of this:

Stay classy, guys.

UPDATE:

HOCKEY IS TEAM TONY.

Couldn't resist the opportunity to mock Labor in the same breath.

Lol have you seen the age's polling? The viewers are 71% Turnball. Not that that is a great indicator of the 100 or so cabinet members who will be deciding tonight, but amusing.

Politics is so populist at the moment, so that polling will probably count for something amongst the undecided members.

I think i will watch it, cabinet is always a hilarious angry thing to watch.

Can't say many of us are surprised that this was going to happen, i wonder how it's going to play out. especially since i think next year is an election year?

can't say i'm keen on either of them, but i think i prefer turnbull. BUT if abbott stays in the liberals probably won't win the next election, he's doing such a poor job. But with turnball they may have a chance.

how will this end *gets the cheesecake*

Turnbull is definitely better suited to politics, and not embarrassing himself and the nation.
He sort of reminds me of a shark. Have you seen his pointy little teeth?

I think if he got in, he's smart enough to know that he needs to be likeable at least in the short term to have any chance of beating out Bill in the election. He's not going to rock the boat or start knighting people.

Well the prediction was that Tony would call an early election next year, possibly before the budget in May. Who the hell knows now.

I will bring the popcorn. We'll have a party.

*offers lamingtons and lemon squash*

Shorten's an utterly forgettable kind of man and head of a party disappearing up its own arse. If it's a contest on charisma, I think a party headed by Turnbull'd win hands down. Since Labor's intent on following the leader policy-wise anyway. Hmm.

I detest that callous budgie-smuggler bastard Abbott with the fire of a thousand suns (so am hoping that ding dong soon the witch'll be dead), but the current state of politics in Australia has me pretty jaded. Turnbull seems to have a bit more integrity at least, and he's unlikely to have recklessly challenged Abbott unless he thinks he has the numbers.

That's what I'm thinking, he didn't make a move last time a spill was made. This time he's leading the spill and has Bishop on his side? Probably gonna get through and will be entertaining throughout!

Man if Abbott loses you know he's going to be the least graceful loser. He'll make Rudd look like a clean queen.

lol, I know right. The entitlement complex is strong with that one. Ah well, consider me entertained in the meantime.

Maybe Malcolm Turnbull will be capable of actually doing something.

Then again, I just hate Tony Abbott.

I love the comedy coming out of this

I think my favourite is this one with the caption "Tony what's good"

HEHH

Also, lol:

WELP. Turnbull 54 to 44 Bishop 70 to 30

Bye bye Abbott! On the downside, the LNP may be in power forever.

A brief bit of excitement with a side of mild dread!

But...on the plus side, not Abbott. A bit of relief there. Let's hope this liberal is a little more liberal than the liberal we've just booted.

Also, more savvy with the economy and keeping his election promises. The stuff a PM is usually voted in on.

NGL the Age's coverage is as amusing as tumblrs
