Peta Credlin added to the long list of nicknames bestowed upon our nation's prime ministers when she called PM Malcolm Turnbull "Mr Harbourside Mansion ", a jibe described by former ALP NSW premier and Foreign Minister Bob Carr as a vengeful 101 act.
The deaf PM Billy Hughes glorified in the title The Little Digger in WWl. Billy Big Ears was William McMahon ; Jolly John was John Gorton ; Malcolm Fraser was known in irreverent circles as the Crazy Grazier , Gough Whitlam, The Big Fellah .
Not to be forgotten was Robert Menzies- called Pig Iron Bob over the export of ore to Japan , who also received the exotic title , Ming the Merciless .
Credlin's utterances so far as a so-called election commentator have many Liberals saying she is more like a Turnbull Government wrecking ball , acting for her former boss , Tony "Mad Monk" Abbott.
Abbott was shown on a wet day during the week , a miserable figure standing like a shag on a rock at Manly wharf, a place said to be seven miles from Sydney but a thousand miles from care , handing out election bumf , avoided by passers- by , one calling him a dinosaur, which upset the Society for the Protection of Dinosaurs.
In Darwin, the Country Liberal Party incumbent in the narrowly held Federal seat of Solomon , Natasha Griggs, nicknamed " Abbott's Handbag"", after she was seen walking next to then PM Abbott , before and after the spill which saw him ousted , on the exit cake walk placing a pacifying hand on him several times , hence the handbag nickname , is facing a big battle . Griggs is shown above with PM Abbott at Darwin Airport when sabres were flashing in a military exercise , now being wielded by various warring sections within the Coalition. That tall figure hovering in the background is Peta Credlin.
A Darwin political animal this week said he could hardly wait for PM Turnbull to lob in town and stage a Kardashian and Cartier-type media promo for the Coalition with Natasha present , the media reptiles sure to ask her how she voted in the spill , and is it true she has 11 or more negatively geared properties , as is widely bruited about the town.
