Political wunderkind Turnbull gives delayed ALP national conference something to celebrate

Sunday, 29 July 2018

What's your favourite Malcolm's-got-no-judgement moment? Is it:

A. Calling a double-dissolution election on union corruption then campaigning without mentioning union corruption?

B. Appointing Wyatt Roy as principal political advisor?

C. Replacing the economy with a National Ideas Boom? OR

........DRUM ROLL.......................

Holding the Super Saturday By-Elections on the planned date of Labor's National Conference to really stick it up the Labor Party.......

...to really give them something to celebrate!
