The Opposition will raise allegations of a correspondence trail involving the Prime Minister's office

One day Marty ,The next Malcolm ..who says you cant kill two dodos with one stone

:lol: Looks like the email was a fake, where might have we seen all this before? Poor Turnbull.

Well Rudd said that...it must be true Gozu

Update......Turnbull said it too

[Psyber]

Far from 'being corrupt', on the evidence so far, Rudd was being totally truthful.
Will those who got stuck into him on here, now apply the same standards they expected from him to Malcolm Turnbull?
Will they acknowledge they've been totally wrong?
Will they explain why Turnbull shouldn't resign, using the exact argument they used against Rudd?

I can't see why either should resign since the only liar appears to have been the public servant.
However, it does appear that Turnbull owes us all an apology for not checking it out better before he believed it and acted on it, and Rudd owes everybody one for asserting Turnbull and the Liberal Party had forged it themselves and calling Turnbull a liar. But we shouldn't be shocked - politicians do tend to act like schoolyard bullies rather than cooperate for the good of the country - as do the committed party fans.

Of course, if someone in one party or the other did create the whole thing for effect, and the public servant is just the fall guy...

As more and more information is being released about this issue, it is becoming clear that Turnbill is becoming the MHS of federal politics.

I agree with Psyber that no-one should (or will resign), but the penalty for Turnbill will be in the party room and his and the Liberal party's standing within the electorate.

Anytime a polly from either side of the spectrum starts a fight that opens up a can of worms like Turnbill has done indicates they are either very naive, poorly advised, desperate or simply incompetent.

For some reason Turnbill thinks that politics is the art of belligerence and the price he may pay is his political career and the strenghtening of the government's position.

If only they would play the ball and not the man to keep the government of the day accountable ... wishful thinking maybe?

Oh dear...

Meanwhile, it emerged on Thursday that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd was reportedly helped by the businessman at the centre of the OzCar affair to pay off a $32,000 legal bill.

You got him Psyber, you finally got him! *cough*

Back in the real word I can't see Turnbull lasting too much longer now. His credibility is shot and senior Liberal Party people are supposedly distancing themselves from him. The thing is who can they possibly replace him with? Hockey confirms he's a blustering idiot everytime he opens his mouth & the Mad Monk is electoral poison. Obviously Turnbull will be gone after the election but a bit like our state dud MHS the Libs might be better off seeing it through with him.

Would be disappointing to see Turnbull go, I liked him, but more to the point I can't see anyone who could adequately fill his position to create meaningful opposition.

Senior Liberals accuse Joe Hockey of jockeying for the leadership:

Unfortunately for Turnbull and the Libs, Malcolm will always find it hard to be seen to be able to relate to the common man. I liken him a bit to Andrew Peacock.

Hockey would certainly not have this problem... I recall thinking that Rudd would never have a chance of winning an election because he looked like a knob, spoke like a knob and acted like a knob, but look what happened.

Politics is very much about being in the right place at the right time and if the economy goes the way many experts predict (more serious pain to come), then someone like Hockey could get across the line when Rudd's cash splash is proven to have been the waste of time it is...
