Australian politics is dominated by the wishes of a small group of old white male racist Christians. There isn’t many of them but their votes determine government. Mention climate change and they arrange for you to be knifed.
That, and for the past few cycles the knifer hasn’t had the balls to take the knifee out into the desert with a shovel. When Key took over from Brash, Key didn’t let Brash stick around. Same thing when Clark rolled Moore. But in Oz we’ve had Abbott knife Turnbull but allow him to stay an MP; Gillard knife Rudd but allow him to stay an MP; Turnbull knife Abbott but allow him to stay an MP; and every time the knifee has used that opportunity to plot, and do deals, and snipe, and plan revenge. The c-c-c-combo breaker was Gillard, who got revengeknifed by Rudd and promptly left politics with her dignity and reputation intact.
