What I don't get is why places like Sky or 2GB think Craig Kelly is "popular" - is it a bubble thing or is it simply that an MD somewhere in the organisation loves all the batshit things he says?

He has powerful friends. This is the kind of PR you get when you're in the gentlemen's club. Other MPs get their preselections threatened during leadership spills. Sky and 2gb are part of the machinery

Former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce has dome harsh words [sic. fairfax shouldn't have fired their subeditors] for Malcolm Turnbull. "It's really disappointing what Malcolm Turnbull's done. He's destroying his own legacy by his own hands," he told Seven.

Turnbull seems to think he can purge the party of conservatives from the outside. Is he correct? Any posters want to back a side in this war?

To me it's a bit like why Dutton / Tones / (name your piece of poo poo right winger) bother to post poo poo on twitter. Sure, the comment thread on twitter is generally super abusive and/or completely dismantles the argument with 2 seconds of fact checking, but they don't give a poo poo. Nobody that they're actually talking to is on twitter or will read any of the rebuttals and maybe reconsider their position. It's simply a quote on "the ministers official Twitter account" that news corp can just recycle verbatim into their articles to make it Sound Important And Official

Barnaby and friends are jelly that Turnbull is so much better at this game of thrones crap. Bolt is absolutely miserable crying about him every day. He’s so sour he’s bringing up that Turnbull’s mum abandoned him as some kind of own. I love it.

He can create enough discord that the party will have to come to a conclusion and it's pretty clear that the moderates are slightly more in touch and clever than the cons. I wouldn't be surprised if he got an outcome that kills off enough of them to call it a win for Turnbull.

Unlike Tony Abbott, who desperately needs to stay in politics for a job- Malcolm could have dropped out any time, he's a rich banker. So now he can sit on the sidelines, count his money, and snipe away to his heart's content.

I think all the talk about Turnbull being spineless and empty has gotten to him. He wants to show the world he has an ideological agenda after all. That, and vengeance.

Vengeance is a great motivator after half-arsing a position and losing because of it. He tried to realpolitik and deal with a bunch of crazies and learned the only answer is to gently caress them up.

It really says something about the culture of the LNP that Turnbull appears to have more influence as a destructive external force than he did as a leader.

Need to stop making the mistake of assuming that Sky and 2GB are acting in good faith. They don't think Kelly or Abbott or any of the others are popular with the electorate, they only care that they're supporting of the agenda, and may be popular with their readers/listeners. As far as they are concerned, Craig Kelly is the tip of the spear in a culture war of their own making. Check out some of the post-election analysis by some of the horrible News pundits like Dogfucker or Devine if you need any more convincing. They don't care about diminishing support from the community, dropping subscription numbers or a rapidly aging readership - the only thing that matters is the crusade against LGBTIQA+ rights, immigration, rights and fair pay for workers and whatever else the hard right message on. Edit: He will most certainly lose the seat; He's too far right for most, and for the rest, the fact that he bullied his way into preselection will do him in. He's this generation's Sophie Mirrabella.

bandaid.friend posted:Didn't they just do this on I mean what else are they going to do? It's not like the Libs are actually governing, and listening to spineless cross benchers soapbox all day is going to be pretty painful. Doctor Spaceman posted:The fact that Devine thinks there are deluded conservatives and that she isn't one of them is constantly amusing. Real talk, I think if the ALP do make any moves on Media regulation, Devine and Kenny two need to be the examples of what you don't get to do. So much of what they publish are outright lies, not half truths but actual fabrications and lies. The poo poo she said about Safe Schools in her Sky News debate op ed was loving atrocious. This is what I don't get about the whole "oh it's just ideologies clashing" arguments - the entire platform of the Right is just based on an ongoing series of lies and myths - at least today, if not always. The left generally can't put a foot wrong or it'll be in the headlines for weeks, so they're typically pretty well fact checked and reasonable. How a sane, healthy human being can't see the difference between a Devine column or a Craig Kelly speech and someone like Larissa Waters or Checknotes is just beyond comprehension.
