There’s a new phrase doing the rounds in the corridors of pro-Turnbull supporters. When you say it you have to drip sarcasm and derision as the syllables leave your lips. Let’s try it together shall we? Nice and slowly, with feeling. ‘Del-Con’. ‘Del-Con’. ‘Del-Con’.

That’s meant to be short for ‘delusional conservative’, and it is used to refer to any long-time Liberal supporter who dislikes Malcolm Turnbull and the party’s lurch to the left under his leadership.
