Remember back to the time of the coup against Tony Abbott when the great and the good (I speak loosely you understand) assured us that the change to Malcolm Turnbull was a change to the better: more articulate, better sense of small government economics, more competent, more able to negotiate things through the Senate, and with more of his own money to throw into the party’s coffers? Okay, I added the last one myself because at least it would have been true, unlike the others.
