The internal tension occurs between Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and the conservative members increase after the Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton raises the concern about the leadership while Malcolm Turnbull continues to receive the bad poll and he also is an unpopular prime minister. Recently, the poll shows the Coalition has suffered a horrible slump in primary vote slides from 39 to 33 points while the leadership being disputed. As the prediction warns the Coalition should lose more than 20 seats in the next federal election, the real threat couldn’t ignore, actually the marginal electorates, even the safe seats of Coalition will be affected.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has the stance and policies as Labor, the same-sex-marriage legislation, climate change and Republic, so his stance radically conflicts the major members of Liberals. The Coalition government has been lost the people trust and opposition Bill Shorten is the same, but the marginal seats of Liberals and Nationals will lose more if the leadership remains and Malcolm Turnbull will lead the Liberals in the next election.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is a sensible man, he quickly backflips the National Energy Guarantee (NEG), therefore, he couldn’t guarantee the top job while the pressure follows and Labor attacks the change with few days. Whatever, the leadership spill is not good for Coalition, the party has been unstable and the unification needs to reinforce the Coalition to prepare the next election.
On Monday, August 20, 2018, the important meeting to ease the internal tension and also decide the leadership of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull. Certainly, Liberal members understand the leadership spill damages the party, but they have to do something before the worst situation will come, a Liberal member reveals:” We are going off a cliff under Turnbull” and another senior of Liberals said:” I think Malcolm Turnbull is terminal and will be very surprised if he is still leader by the end of the year”, another senior Liberal dissatisfies Prime Minister:” he’s just not on of us”. Despite, the front benchers support Malcolm Turnbull, almost, they are the coup’s member and the wing of Turnbull, they just care the position than the national interest and the future Liberals.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has tried to do something to save his top job, so he backflips the National Energy Guarantee and trying to convince the backbench. However, he has not changed the stance, it is the leftist, he could turncoat but never changed the body.
The leadership’s tension in Liberals is the bad move of a political party, nevertheless, the next general election is waiting for next year or early election call if the Nationals withdraw the support that conducts the government collapsed any time. The Coalition couldn’t ignore the people opinion, a Liberal member worries:” The next Prime Minister will be Bill Shorten”. Certainly, the Australian people obsessed Labor unleashed the border that caused more than 50,000 asylum seeker came, the taxpayers wasted tens of billion dollars and the consequence still remains. If Bill Shorten wins the next election, Senator Penny Wong will be foreign minister. The Australian people have never forgotten Penny Wong who held Finance Minister under Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard. Senator Penny Wong and Treasurer Wayne Swan didn’t understand the basic economic lesson, every time when the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cut the rate, both were happy and concerned the economic growth, indeed, the economy slowed down. The Coalition has to do something before the disaster coming ./.
