Malcolm Turnbulls failure to remove Sussan Ley from his frontbench shows Australians just what kind of leader he is weak and out-of-touch.
Yesterday Sussan Ley said there was consensus between her and the Prime Minister that her claim to purchase an apartment on the Gold Coast does not meet the high standards he expects of Ministers.
Despite this clear-cut admission, Malcolm Turnbull is trying to mask his frontbenchers breach of ministerial standards with a review and delays. Australians deserve better.
What does it take for this Prime Minister to come out of hiding and act? How many failings are Turnbull government ministers allowed to get away with?
Its no wonder Australians are outraged at this out-of-touch government. At a time when the government is gutting Medicare, this conduct stinks, and Malcolm Turnbull cant see the problem.
This was a test of character, a test of judgement, and a test of leadership for Mr Turnbull. He has failed these tests.
