So Turnbull has kept Abbott's vile "stop the boats" border policy, which has now reached the point of a case being made in the Hague's International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity, and most recently the UN Human Rights Commission has demanded Australia address the conditions in it's Nauru asylum seeker gulag.
As if that's not bad enough, now Abbott has used a speech in England to praise his "stop the boats" policy and recommended Europe take it up to address their border concerns, least the flood of humanity created by the west bombing Syria and failing in Iraq and Afghanistan wash across their shores. FFS, could it get any worse than that?
So what does Turbull do to Abbott, now a backbencher who has chosen to represent Australia to Europe by preaching racism and xenophobia? He praises Abbott.
Turnbull is really starting to look like a lemon in a nice suit. Come on Malcolm, get real. No more Mr nice guy. Deal with fuckwit Abbott. The electorate will praise you for it.
Now Mr Abbott has taken his twisted logic and flawed morality to the international stage, audaciously lecturing other nations about their handling of the refugee crisis, saying European governments have been too compassionate, and narcissistically claiming the challenge can be solved with an Australian-style closure of borders. Oh, and also by going to war.
And what was the Prime Minister’s response?
According to media reports, he declined to reprimand Mr Abbott for meddling in the affairs of other sovereign nations, and defaulted to praising the man who should be a pariah with the claim the former PM’s views are “in hot demand everywhere in the world”.
How does that lame response fit with Mr Turnbull’s pre-coup promise of a style of leadership that respects the people’s intelligence? The New Daily
