turnbull won, page-10

Turnbull will take it up to Rudd. He's relaxed, confident and combative. He should have been a Labor leader (republican,non-priveledged backgroud, business mate of Wran, Whitlam) but he didn't want to spend his best years as a union/faction hack.This bloke will liven up Fed politics now.

However, he didn't want the job this early. Brendan thought 'Turnbull is gonna sit back and watch me cop heaps from the media, Lib party, Govt until about and year out from the election and THEN roll me. No way. Bring it on now!'
