@pintohoo; c'mon! .... Lurch was a thoroughly decent and caring person with a droll sense of humour - unflappable and 100% reliable!
After being deprived of his chance to declare war against China, Dutton will be as Mad as Hell. Indeed, I doubt that much remains of that miniscule sense of humour he was caught out expressing in a witless exchange with Abbott wherein they were condescending about and dismissive climate change.
Yet this is the bloke Murdoch Mouthpieces are proposing is the one to lead the Liberals up against the Teals, Labor and The Greens in 2025; almost certainly without yet another $100 MiIlion in supportive advertising from Palmer, with none of the 635 taxpayer-funded 'social media experts' Morrison had at his disposal and with none of the taxpayer-funded government advertising Morrison deployed to promote the alternative he represents.
In 2025 we may well see The Greens become The Opposition to Labor with a huge crossbench of teals and other indis.
