Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has thrown buckets of shade at his former colleagues, claiming Scott Morrison did not deserve to win the last federal election:
Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull does not believe the Scott Morrison-led coalition deserved to win the 2019 election.
And he criticised Mr Morrison’s bid to portray himself as the “daggy dad” from the suburbs during the election campaign as cringe-worthy.
“He’s a professional politician who understands marketing and messaging better than most,” Mr Turnbull writes in his memoir, A Bigger Picture, The Australian reports.
“His cringe-worthy ‘daggy dad’ persona is more exaggerated than it is conflated, but in net terms it probably helped.
“”All that aside, however, the truth is that Labor lost the election that the coalition, after the August coup, did not deserve to win.”
The only person that killed Malcolm Turnbull’s Prime Ministership is Malcolm Turnbull.
He failed to unite the progressive and conservative wings of the Coalition.
On one hand he alienated the centre by doing nothing on anything of importance (hence MB’s title of “Do-Nothing Malcolm”). On the other, he alienated the conservatives by only doing symbolic stuff for the centre in lieu of real policy action.
Under his Prime Ministership, Australian living standards continued to fall, which he never explained, never had a plan to turn around, and constantly lied about, papering over it all with a mass immigration class war that made it all worse.
Turnbull also failed his own benchmark for toppling Tony Abbott, losing more consecutive Newspolls than the former leader did and damaging the Coalition far more long-term by embedding One Nation in QLD.
Under his leadership, the Coalition would very likely have lost the last election.
Turnbull is acting like an angry ex-girlfriend, unable to recognise the leading role he played in his own demise.
