Never again
I wouldn't be surprised if Dutton challenges again..
And again.....and again.....

I doubt it. There'll have to be an election soon, by April I reckon. Libs are doomed. He'd be better off keeping his head down and rolling ScoMo after that loss (assuming he gets re-elected, which itself is rather unlikely) or pledging now to stand down at the next election.I wouldn't be surprised if Dutton challenges again..
No, perhaps you're right.The far right won’t give up, they can’t help themselves.
And neither will Newscorp/2GB.
I agree. Tony won't give up. He has nothing to lose. It's also possible that Dutton saw being leader of the LNP as the only hope of saving his seat as well.The far right won’t give up, they can’t help themselves.

Yeah it was kinda hilarious really. Turnbull took control and called Dutton's bluff knowing he had not secured the numbers for the spill, then by demanding the 43 signatures, gave ScoMo the time to rally the troops for himself.Turnbull was masterful at fucking up there plans. Where was that Turnbull during his Prime Ministership???
Who was it on here who commented the other day ‚how the fuck is it that I can be older than Scott Morrison...‘ ?!
Think you're missing oddjob's point...Trump is proof enough that age doesn't indicate you will make a better leader for a country!

Well be that as it may, I think oddjob was just bemoaning being so old even the PM is younger!I actually think the comment made by @Isee is very relevant to the context of discussion.
I don’t disagree.Trump is proof enough that age doesn't indicate you will make a better leader for a country!
A sweep could be fun. Would everyone just pick a date?Anyway so Antony Green's (already slightly out of date) article about the timing of the federal election is here:
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-22/the-when-and-how-of-calling-the-next-federal-election/10153686
October: Possibly
November: Can't because Vic has a state election
December: Are you insane?
January: Nope (silly season)
February: Probably not because campaign would still run over summer. Have never had a federal election in Jan or Feb.
March: Can't because NSW has a state election (although Feds could force NSW to push back to April)
April: Nope because of Easter and school holidays
May: Last chance because a joint Reps/Senate election must be held by 18 May.
Should we have a sweep on the election date?
