You’ve got three months, Malcolm, so far so good!

Australia compensates for its inferiority and cringe mentality by claiming it is an egalitarian society, not a land of gutless, spiteful, xenophobes that despise anyone rising above the common herd. The cringe mentality also expresses itself as the ‘tall poppy syndrome;’ anyone that raises their head above the ‘egalitarian’ herd is quickly attacked by the pack (of losers) and dragged back down to the gutter with the rest of the ‘egalitarian’ population – choke, splutter, spew!

Former Goldman Sachs employee and new opposition leader, Malcolm Turnbull, fully cognisant of the cultural cringe and other warped Oz values, spent a great deal of time apologising for his personal wealth, which is estimated at approximately $180m! Turnbull has the dubious distinction of being the wealthiest politician in Australia’s history!

Fearing the incumbent Labor government would exploit this ‘unfortunate political liability,’ Turnbull stated that he too had lived in rented accommodation with a single struggling parent, who somehow managed to board his young son in one of the most exclusive private schools in Australia, Sydney Grammar!

The school’s sports ground lies opposite Rushcutters Bay where the yachts of other unfortunate rich and affluent Australians are moored. The grounds once supported the old Sydney Stadium where black boxer Jack Johnson defeated his white opponent to become heavyweight champion of the world. The venue also hosted Frank Sinatra concerts and numerous other international entertainers. I would add that the grounds cover acres of land in the richest urban coastal belt in Sydney. Yep, poor old Mal really ‘did it tough’ when he was young!

The above notwithstanding, we were compelled to write not so much due to Turnbull’s deceitful pretences but to acknowledge his business clarity and accurate comments relating to the misinformation issuing from the ‘superior’ mouth of the governor of the Reserve Bank, Glenn ‘my shit don’t stink’ Stevens!

Turnbull rightly contradicted Stevens who seemed completely oblivious to Australia’s appalling national debt of approximately $600 billion! Stevens erroneously stated that Australia is “light years away” from the credit mayhem experienced by other nations overseas. Stevens’ statement is not only incorrect it is dangerously misleading in the current financial climate. Our only criticism is that Turnbull should have emphasised the point. Stevens is a fuckwit of monumental proportions, as his IDIOTIC statement indicates – there are 600 billion reasons why Australia is extremely vulnerable, Mr Glenn ‘think again’ Stevens.

Prime Minister Rudd took a swipe at Turnbull for stating the facts. Our bereft PM could only make meaningless and irrelevant statements relating to our financial regulatory system, which allowed the nation to plunge into the worst debt in its history – how’s it go again, Kevin?

We warned and stated it time and again that Rudd is incapable of handling any crisis, he is a bureaucrat and therefore dependent; remember it was Murdoch who stated that Rudd would be a good PM – for whom? Rudd is a dead loss to everyone except big business but he will have no choice soon, as big business is responsible for the economic woes the world is experiencing!

And its only the beginning; the capitalist world economy will be non-existent by 2010 and bereft bureaucrats have no solutions other than what they are told by morons like Stevens!

Go get ‘em Mal, but remember -- if you fail the people -- how easy it was to smash Cousins and Howard! YOUR demise is only a flick of the wrist away, ol’ mate!

As for you Mr Kevin ‘useless’ Rudd, God forbid you may actually be required to make a decision and lead the nation in a time of severe crisis. Gough did it with cyclone Tracy and arresting Croatian terrorists bombing Sydney. Compare to Howard who couldn’t handle a banana crisis. The sad fact is Rudd is less a leader than Howard, God help Australia!

What are you going to do regarding the Haneef scandal; BHP stealing millions of litres of THE NATION’S high quality artesian water; the Balibo murderers; Japanese whaling in southern waters and now the French invading/interfering in the South Pacific region, Mr Kevin DUD! Show us what you're made of, you pathetic whimp!

LIBERAL leader Malcolm Turnbull has declared he will beat Prime Minister Kevin Rudd at the next poll as he launched a savage attack on his rival for being a phoney.

And he took aim at the beleaguered State Government, claiming NSW had reached a, "new low of incompetence".

He said new Premier Nathan Rees, "made Iemma look good" - a reference to the former premier Morris Iemma, who yesterday announced his retirement just weeks after losing support from his own party.

As business opens its wallets in support of the cash-strapped Liberal Party, Mr Turnbull also flagged plans to offer tax relief.

He denied Labor's claim, that he is an arrogant Sydney silvertail who can't relate to average voters.

"I have seen both ends of the economic spectrum," he said.

During an interview with The Daily Telegraph, a confident Mr Turnbull promised "leadership, energy, action" as he tries to topple the Labor Government.

"We are determined to make this a one-term Government," he said.

"We have a lot of work to do, but yes we can win and I believe we will win."

Elected on Tuesday morning by his colleagues, Mr Turnbull will spend the weekend finalising a new-look frontbench with his deputy Julie Bishop.

A number of shadow spokesmen who served under former opposition leader Brendan Nelson will be dropped as Mr Turnbull sharpens the political attack against the Government.

While Ms Bishop is assured of the Treasury role, other frontbenchers - including Andrew Robb, Tony Abbott and Peter Dutton - have spent much of the week lobbying for the prized portfolio.

Mr Turnbull would not be drawn on the shape of his frontbench but he did lash out at Mr Rudd who is off on another overseas trip, to New York, on Monday.

He accused him of "complete phoneyness" after the Prime Minister refused to accept Mr Turnbull's invitation for a bipartisan approach to the economic crisis.

Drawing the political battle lines, Mr Turnbull said Mr Rudd had promised "so much, done so little" since being elected.

"The great problem with Kevin Rudd's prime ministership is the emptiness - the gap between the rhetoric and reality," Mr Turnbull said.

The first opinion polls to be published in coming days will show Mr Turnbull's elevation to Opposition Leader has had an immediate and positive effect.

Asked if he believed he could beat the Labor leader, who remains extremely popular, Mr Turnbull was emphatic: "Yes I do, absolutely."

So do a number of senior business figures who believe the Government could be a one-term administration.

Business has responded favourably to the Turnbull elevation, with senior Liberal figures confirming it had received "sizeable" cash donations since Tuesday's ballot.

"Good money is coming in or has been promised. The big end of town is responding positively," one senior Liberal figure said.

A rank amateur should never lead nor should a novice teach.

You blew it, BIG TIME, Mal! It's over for you whether you know it or not.

Better to leave voluntarily than face the prospect of DISGRACE.
