On the end of Malcolm Turnbull
John Richardson writes: Re.“Turnbull just went from fizzer to finished” (Tuesday)
While Bernard Keane is right to highlight the obscene theft being perpetrated by the current representatives of organised crime, posing as our country’s government, anyone in touch with our recent history would understand that a far grander theft has been underway non-stop for more than 250 years, starting with the wholesale dispossession of the first Australians and then continuing without interruption through the institutionalised franchising of privilege and power and the continuing legalised theft of our nation’s resources
As to why anyone would have great expectations of Malcolm Turnbull as Prime Minister is surely a mystery, given that he is just the latest in a long line of ordinary but reliable political enablers whose sole purpose is surely to defend and protect the status quo.
