So, which of these clowns doesn't make it out of the cabinet reshuffle alive?

The humiliating parade of Hockey, Andrews, Abetz - all good bets.  Peter Dutton - I'm crossing my fingers!!

To clarify

Kevin Rudd - November 2007 - June 2010
Julia Gillard - June 2010 - June 2013
Kevin Rudd - June - September 2013
Tony Abbott - September 2013 - September 2015
Malcolm Turnbull - September 2015 - Huh

As an outside observer...what is it with the Australian propensity for party coups?

There will be a sugar-hit. I would expect a rapid tightening.

So is Abbott going to repeat what Rudd did in 2010-2013 and work to undermine Turnbull so he can pull of a counter-coup ?

In the face of our fifth Prime Minister in just over 5 years... let's start afresh.

Yeah the old one was almost 400 posts about Dave's preferred 2000 limited, but the name of this one should be 2.0 or something, not 2015-discussion. I doubt we will have 2000 posts in the rest of the year, although you never know with the way things are going Wink

Good idea, but it was meant to read as 2015- like 2015-to ?

But it didn't look like it.

Turnbull seems like less of an Australian GW Bush than Abbott. Is this perception correct?

Yes, Turnbull is certainly more charismatic and gives across a much more competent seeming style.  Whether there will be any change in the policies, I wouldn't hold out for much.

Turnbull is a bad man and I hope he loses.

Hopefully he'll be like Keating and not hold back his arrogance.

To clarify

Kevin Rudd - November 2007 - June 2010
Julia Gillard - June 2010 - June 2013
Kevin Rudd - June - September 2013
Tony Abbott - September 2013 - September 2015
Malcolm Turnbull - September 2015 - Huh

I think the 5 PMs in 8 years thing is counting John Howard (March 1996-December 2007) because December 2007 was less than 8 years ago, and Kevin Rudd counts as one person.
