Tony Abbott is Liberals’ only hope as voters stray from Malcolm Turnbull
Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun
PARLIAMENT returns tomorrow, and so does the Turnbull government’s hell: more bad polls, no hope, and lousy leadership.
It can’t go on like this. When will Liberal MPs face facts? The government is in huge trouble, and that won’t change soon.
For instance, the High Court this week starts hearings into the legality of the same-sex marriage plebiscite.
If it rules the postal vote unconstitutional, given parliament has not voted to pay for it, Turnbull will be humiliated.
So who? Who could win back the Liberal base now drifting to Pauline Hanson?
Who has form for out-campaigning Labor? Who already has a punch-through strategy, even if he’s as unpopular as Labor’s Bill Shorten? The Liberals must face these questions fast before they leave their next leader with no time to save them.
