TURNBULL35

Got this via The Australian. RRP is $29.99. 35% off is $19.49. Not bad for a new release.

Description: Members receive an exclusive 35% off The Turnbull Gamble by Wayne Errington and Peter van Onselen, bestselling authors of Battleground: Why the Liberal Party Shirtfronted Tony Abbott and John Winston Howard: The Definitive Biography.

The Liberal Party took a risk replacing Tony Abbott with Malcolm Turnbull. They had seen how voters could turn when the ALP tore down a first-term prime minister. But MPs were desperate, having witnessed the collapse in polling during Abbott’s prime ministership. By the time Turnbull called the election it was still unclear what he wanted to achieve. He seemed strangely underprepared for a job that he had fought so long to win.

Turnbull leads a party whose culture he doesn’t share. While the narrow election victory may have justified the gamble to place him in office, does Turnbull have the leadership qualities needed to break the cycle of division and instability of the last decade?

Peter van Onselen is a contributing editor at The Australian and a presenter at Sky News. He is a professor in politics at the University of Western Australia.

Wayne Errington is Associate Professor in Politics and Associate Dean (Learning and Teaching) in the Faculty of Arts at Adelaide University.

  Spoiler alert

  Australia loses the gamble at the end. You may need to wait for the sequel for the full implications to be revealed.

  Turnbull's reason for existing is to shift public money into private hands and to support the wealthy at the expense of everyone else.

  You only have to look at his actions to realise this.

    "Turnbull's reason for existing is to shift public money into private hands and to support the wealthy at the expense of everyone else."

    Isn't that a Liberal motto? To create a public company with the expenses of tax payers then selling it off later and telling people that they brought Australia back into surplus after the Labor government?

      I think Turnbull and Howard took lessons from that other great Liberal P.M. Keating who spent his final years in office selling off public assets including the Aerospace Technologies of Australia, Australian Industry Development Corporation, AUSSAT, Australian Airlines, Commonwealth Serum Laboratories, the Commonwealth Bank, Moomba-Sydney Pipeline, Qantas and the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation.Don't understand why people want to continue to think the parties are that much different

  Turnbull & Liberal Party modus operandi: privatise the profits & socialise the costs
  Right wing ideology = simplism
