Turnbull is correct, he isn't being vindictive he is just telling the public how it is, and what he states is basically the reason why teal exists as the new blue!
Blue has been infiltrated by the hard right, Scomo and Perrottet pander to the new order fundamentalists, some on the opposing(red) side of politics will try to paint all the opposition as a new world order. Reality is factions on both sides, red or blue, have hijacked the parties. On the blue side this stems from weak leadership during the Abbott years, on the red side it's diffusion of policy with green agendas that has been going on for decades since Peter Garrett was a lad!
If blue moderate's like Turnbull fail to stand up and identify the rot, if they fail to single out the whiteants, in the ranks then their party will be forever lost!
An inherent weakness in Albanese's seems to be his unwillingness or inability to call out factions on his own side of politics. He is the embodiment of the weak creation of factional compromise. The Red side needs someone like Tunrbull to call out the whiteants on it's side of the ant hill!
The problem I have is this, modern media join in with the crowd to throw rocks rather than offer analysis and investigation, it's really lowest common denominator stuff, opinion rather than reporting. The people who are charged with guiding the public, the Fourth Estate, actually now incite the turmoil.
