  My Radical Blogs — Authority: 116
  The Australian Liberal Party are rapidly going into melt down – a fairly typical scenario in Australian politics after the party in power loses at a general election. The role of leader really is a poisonous chalice especially when the defeat was as heavy as it was. In most cases, the losing party goes through a ...

  IAIN HALL — Authority: 133
  In the comments for my previous post on this topic Ray was excited by the prospect that the ETS issue could be the one that keeps Brother Number One in the lodge for the next two terms, but the Galaxy Poll done for the Sunday Mail suggests that the CRPS is by no means [...]

  No Minister — Authority: 563

• As dead as Malcolm’s leadership prospects?

  
  IAIN HALL — Authority: 133
  At the risk of sparking a backlash from some dumbarse storkers at you-know-where (who have so little self respect that they can’t take the slightest bit of fair criticism), I feel compelled to report on the amazing lack of interest shown in the current Liberal leadership debacle over at …. well, a certain website ...

• The Copenhagen Diagnosis

  
  Woolly Days — Authority: 465

• Andrew Bolt: The Svengali of the Liberal revolt speaks

  
  The Tizona Group — Authority: 439
  Andrew Bolt writes : The ABC’s PM , a player in the global warming debate , accuses me of being a player. We then start arguing, when the interviewer shows no interest in the central fact which best explains this revolt by the Liberal sceptics – the failure of the world to actually warm. Listen here . ...

• ETS bill won’t pass today

  
  Deus Lo Vult — Authority: 418
  And probably won’t pass for a while now. Watching the Senate session going on at the moment, Senate Majority Leader Chris Evans has entered into a tirade against the Liberals and their leadership fiasco and has been doing so for about half an hour now. And he hasn’t let the Nationals slip by – he just called ...

• Movement in the Liberal party

  
  Deus Lo Vult — Authority: 418
  Concetta Fierravanti-Wells has quit her post as parliamentary secretary. This was a big surprise as not only had I pegged her as a Turnbull supporter, but she had come out in favour of the ETS deal that had been hashed out with Labor on Tuesday. My guess is that she had her preselection threatened. She was probably ...

• Australian election betting markets

  
  simon jackman's blog — Authority: 121
  And unsurprisingly, a fair amount of movement in the betting markets. The Centrebet prices as of this morning (Sydney time) correspond to an 80% chance that Labor wins the next election. That is up from about 68% as recently as late August.

• A death knell for the CRPS and Turnbull’s time in the big chair

  
  IAIN HALL — Authority: 133
  The only question that matters when it comes down to the leadership of the Liberal party is will Turnbull hold on long enough to deliver the government a yes vote on its disastrous CRPS bill. Personally I think that no matter what he personally thinks about the Warminista faith Turnbull would do irrevocable harm to ...

• Tony Abbott resigns

  
  Deus Lo Vult — Authority: 418
  Abbott is leaving the front bench of the Coalition, it’s reported, so that he can vote against the ETS bill. It’s expected that the shadow cabinet tow the line with the leader. By opting out of the cabinet, Abbott is free to vote how he wants. And he wants the leadership of the Liberals. So, by positioning himself ...

• Why I still say “No” to White Ribbon Day

  
  IAIN HALL — Authority: 133
  I  had the opportunity to watch question time yesterday and I was entirely  unimpressed to see both the prime minister and the leader of the opposition solemnly declaring support for White Ribbon Day. Brother Number One was waxing eloquently about how he felt responsible and  ashamed about domestic violence because ...
