Interesting period ahead for Australian federal politics

Comments on Matthew Franklin “Malcom Turnbull backs Tony Abbott on climate”, 19/05/2010, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/nation/malcom-turnbull-backs-tony-abbott-on-climate/story-e6frg6nf-1225868416369

Australian federal politics now has entered into a new phase, with Rudd in trouble and Turnbull remaining in politics.

Rudd is unlikely to turn his political fortune around.

Abbott's own leadership weaknesses mean his stay at the leadership of the Liberal Party will be temporary.

Turnbull now has probably learnt a great deal from politics from his failures at the Liberal helm and since the loss of his leadership of the coalition. He is much more mature politically and tactically, I should say.

It may be the case that both main political parties may change their top leaders either before or shortly after the coming election.

It will be interesting political stuff to observe in the next 6 months to a year or so.
