Malcolm Turnbull just called the new Opposition Leader Angus Taylor the "best qualified idiot" they've ever met — pointing out his fancy degrees and Rhodes Scholar creds don't hide the lack of real policy wins.

Angus Taylor resigns from Liberal frontbench ahead of expected leadership spill

Ot appears Angus Taylor's handlers have convinced him that he has the numbers to shiv Susssan Ley.
My opinion is that Angus Taylor doesn't have a strong enough grasp of mathematics to do the sums for himself — because if he did, he'd be more cautious.
One wonders if Angus Taylor has been taking advice from the same innumerate people who set-up Peter Dutton for his failed spill against Malcolm Turnbull in August 2018 that handed the party leadership and position of Prime Minister to Scott Morrison.

Malcolm Turnbull: Coalition chasing Sky News approval has taken them to "La La Land"
Former PM argues Australia's power nexus is fundamentally centrist, while current Coalition troubles stem from courting conservative media audiences.
Tony Abbott intervenes in Liberal leadership battle calling on right to unite to oust Sussan Ley

It hurts me to say this, but: Susssan Ley is right. She's recognised that if the Liberal Party is to survive, to present itself as a credible Opposition, and have more than just a dream of winning an election in the next decade, it needs to be overhauled.
Susssan Ley has a mountain of work ahead of her if she's trying to reform and modernise the Liberal Party. This comes after years that cannot be swept under the carpet, and memories that stretch back so far in people's minds that we have a clear picture of what is "normal" for the Liberal Party. Some people like Tony Abbott want that "tradition" that he was part of and benefited from to persist, and for the rest of us to forget the aspects that were terrible for most people in Australia.
But, who can forget the lies and racism and RWNJ extremism resembling Nazism of the Malignant Potato Peter Dutton, the lies and racism and self-serving religious quackery of the Liar from the Shire Scott Morrison, the lies and racism and outrageous sexism and anti-intellectualism and cruelty disguised as boofheadedness of The Mad Monk Tony Abbott, the lies and racism and nonsensical neo-con ideology of Malcolm Turnbull, and the lies and racism and mean-spirited divide-and-conquer class-warfare of John Howard?

Former Australian prime minister #MalcolmTurnbull praised the already 'enormous influence' of Prime Minister #MarkCarney address on a fractured world order: 'Carney has the intellect and the eloquence to deliver a speech that I think will be a tipping point,' he said.
