Looks like we are about to get our 5th Prime Minister in 5 years. Maybe instead of about worrying about interest rates trying to motivate the economy, how about trying for a stable Federal government?

I think ever since Howard left office, these newbies lack experience....many get their without having achieved much because the world somehow now wants younger PMs/Presidents. Hawke had charisma and could wing it without much political experience and had Keating who was a great treasurer and mind.
Howard was a real in and under type politician who never gave up and battled endless wars before being triumphant - he knew how hard it was to get there...also had a decent treasurer in Costello...
It seems the best governments = charismatic or tough leaders backed up by accomplished treasurers.
Similarly it's also the same story in the corporate world.
TA is trying to do this, and continually says so to the media who are absolutely fanatical now about their pursuit of the Leadership topic.Looks like we are about to get our 5th Prime Minister in 5 years.

Unfortunately it's going to be the asbestos lawyer Turnbulls entire party hates him.
I have to disagree with the very good first year claim BayView.
He banged on and on about broken promises the previous government made and he has done the same on a whole host of issues.
Also, the deficit is getting worse under him not better atm.
was the statement - I don't actually know. I would put it to the stats nerds to find out for us.and probably the deficit (don't know the actual figures on that one).
Agree. If they think he can save their jobs, they will find a way to support him.Does the entire party hate him or only the far right conservatives? I bet that there are numerous first term back benchers who support Turnbull.
The deficit may be getting worse but it is not without attempting to turn things around, the previous governments head in the sand attitude on this was nothing short of breathtaking.

I think it was a 1% cut?Abbott has cut things he doesn't believe in, like the ABC
Everyone agrees (other than ABC employees) that it was needed, apparently.
Adults. Yeah right.
Crikey - Remember Labor?s ?skyrocketing debt?? The Coalition?s is much worse
"If $178.1 billion is the debt level attributable to Labor, then it can be argued that by the end of this financial year the Coalition will have blown out Labor?s debt by $66.7 billion ($244.8 billion to $178.1 billion) or 37.5%. In one budget."
The Libs have had a very good first year as a Govt with things they have achieved...stopped the boats, repealed the Carbon/Mining tax, 3 trade agreements, reduced Gubb spending, and probably the deficit (don't know the actual figures on that one).
They've stopped the boats, as promised. Tick.
IMO he's been a terrible Prime Minister. Hopefully he gets rolled soon and Turnbull or Bishop take over.
School should not have chaplains funded by tax payer I absolutely agree
Dan the 9 billion was to ensure appropriate funding to the RBA due to losses in its foreign currency holdings with a rapid increase in the value of the AUD.
