TRUE BLUE COMPANY FOR HAROLD HOLT

If dissidents in the Federal Coalition still oppose Malcolm Turnbull over the ETS and conspire for his removal then the stage will be set for conservative forces to do a Harold Holt –disappear without trace. The disarray , opportunism and base redneck tactics being employed by the Tories is symptomatic of an outfit which is near death . Without doubt , Turnbull , if given a chance, would be able to reshape and knock the rabble into some kind of shape. He , however, because of the bitter Medici mob , within and without, and the yapping National Party nonentities is under siege.

In his final mutterings before , thankfully,exiting parliament, Peter Costello , once and for all, shattered the confected myth that he has been a true supporter of the True Blue party all along . Members of the Coalition objecting to the ETS had every right to do so, he said , making life a little more difficult for the present leader, Malcolm Turnbull. Cuddly and affectionate when he appeared on Q and A , the arbiter of good manners, John Elliott, said he was glad to see Costello go because he had divided the Victorian Liberals .

Former PM Malcolm Fraser accused the Coalition of scratching the redneck nerve of the nation. This prompted the NT Country Liberal Senator, Nigel Scullion, appearing on the ABC Stateline TV report , to say Fraser is from the Jurassic Park days of politics , so it was surprising that anybody took any notice of the Crazy Grazier . This may be so, but there are lot of cockroaches , survivors from dinosaur days , scurrying about Canberra's conservative corridors, making discordant squeaks as if sprayed by Baygon. Observing the undisciplined actions of the Coalition, PM Rudd might be tempted to go for the jugular and call a double dissolution which would annihilate the Coalition and see the lonely survivors tramping around Canberra in Doc Martens and ten gallon cowboy hats trying to attract media attention.
