You have no evidence of an event that did not happen. You are indulging in alternate reality fiction, which you are absolutely entitled to do.
My version is that the Canning by election victory would have given Abbott the impetus he was needing, Labor would have binned Shorten by Christmas, Abbott would have called early on Plibersek and romped home. We'll never know.
How do you see Turnbull getting out of his current election-losing position? What are the policies, the plans, the agenda? What will Turnbull's legacy be?
This thread about Turnbull's 18 months of achievements seems to be lacking anybody actually attempting to provide any. Unsurprising. If, heaven forbid, we have a similar thread in another six months, do you think the Turnbull fans will be able to list any by then or will they still attempt to avoid the subject?
If Turnbull's most ardent supporters can still only talk about backbenchers in another six months then why is he even in charge?
