For those that (might?) consider Turnbull?.... much much later.
He needs to toughen up on his opponents... that's the game... not his own team or the majority (the voters remember?) out there of opposition supporters
He needs to get in touch of what "they" the supporters want
Well he is intelligent... a businessman and (maybe unfortunately??) too much a gentleman with a strong "leadership" calling
And that self conciousness or ego unfortunately so easily pumped as on ABC Q&A with the odd sly compliment is his achiles heel
Compliments are an un-necessary waste on a really capable leaders (what are they trying to buy me with?)
And for that "cute" Gillard "look"?... pure "fem" manipulation.
Wink wink Abbott... wake up Abbott and show her where her chin is
Labor knows how to pump that ego up to get what Labor wanted to neutralise the opposition
When Turnbull went up against Rudd and that "truck advertising" fiasco (maybe Turnbull really did have evidence or thought he did) but Rudd and the Labor (dirty tricks??) machine played him pathetically and sadly for him his intelligence didnt't help him or Australia
Wimped away from his own team and supported his teams opponents and attacked his own teams position
Totally neutralised the opposition and the Greens Labor independent and lefty media are now running Australia
Independent positions are fine but neutralise your party and those that vote for you as their voice... not a great resume for a leader
Everyone has high aims OK.. but impatience or greed it soon becomes destructive anarchy
Labors dirty tricks machine (the ABC and lefty media journos and lefty Uni professors panting puppies are like a tin of slithering snakes) and require a hard knuckled leader with a steel chin to match
Tough enough to deal with the rubbish that prevails in Canberra today
And most definately underlined for all parties .... don't to confuse that "tough on your opponents", with being a "tyrant" or "bully" over the citizens and then calling it "leadership" as our socialist/fabians Labor party like to claim of themselves
Labor playing their bullyboy tactics on ordinary people doesn't make great leadership
Neither do liars
Nor people with unproven half baked and unproved faux scientific ideas going off half cocked pretending it's the truth
Labors history of non-achievement is there for all to see
