PM Scott Morrison is the removalist — removing anything that might stop the Coalition retaining Government at the next election or, at least, the things that could turn the defeat into a rout.

First, he is trying to remove internal differences and ructions. So it was that the Prime Minister dropped the National Energy Guarantee. However, he did so not to win popular support but to appease the climate change deniers in his Government. 

He hopes popular support comes with slogans about cheaper reliable electricity or the folksy, "fair dinkum power". That such sloganeering is untrue is irrelevant to Morrison and his Government. The fact that the climate change crisis is deepening is also irrelevant to them.

But for a majority of voters, climate change is a major issue. The Great Removalist has merely highlighted his Government’s lack of action on addressing climate change at all. He has shown the Coalition up as being divorced from the wishes of ordinary Australians, once again.

And, of course, other internal barnacles remain. Tony Abbott, slightly more popular than an empty chair, won pre-selection for the seat of Warringah. The Government’s problem with women, or a lack of them, continues and in a related issue, the bullying allegations will not disappear. The women in red, in Parliament last week, made that pretty clear. Are they waiting until after 20 October?

Three candidates running in the Wentworth by-election have accused the Liberal pick of playing dirty by removing hundreds of their campaign posters from the streets.

Labor's Tim Murray, independent Kerryn Phelps and Justice Party candidate Ben Forsyth have all taken aim at Dave Sharma's team over the disappearance of their posters around Sydney's eastern suburbs.

Mr Murray attacked Mr Sharma on Twitter and even alleged Labor posters were taken down and replaced with Mr Sharma's.

He shared two photos — one showing a power pole with Mr Murray's poster attached, and then another showing Mr Sharma's in its place.

As ScoMo — campaigning against Kerryn Phelps on behalf of a little guy called Sharma, rather than lead the country from the surf of Kanbra — says in a glorious Bondi rescue move, that he has not seen anything the ABC board did wrong, well, he is totally deluded. The sacking of Michelle Guthrie, approved 100 % (it seems) by the board has been an act of bastardry that shows the ABC board was 100 % wrong. The ABC board should resign forthwith. Go.

Yes, the now famous under/overthetop performing preaching head-prefect clown, called ScoMo, in charge — by default, after a bloody bruising stint of knife throwing between silly nasty clowns in Kanbra as to whom would drive the little red car into the wall of the little ABC house — of the new official clowning in the clown government of Orstraya, has officially famously said that "I think the ABC should stop talking about itself and go back to work"...Fuck! Has this god-freaking clown no shame talking about "going back to work" when his government slashed the ABC budget, when the ABC workers have been underpaid, been sacked at the top and flogged at the bottom — and by the way, HAVE NOT STOPPED WORKING, apart from a short meeting in regard to the clowning government's office interfering with the ABC work, while the sacked worker passed on the true chronology of facts to the other media that this clowning government of clowns has done to interfere with the ABC, including sell it to Mr Murdoch who only wants the old ABC clowning tapes?

Julia Banks' extraordinary decision to resign as a Liberal MP and plunge the Morrison Government further into minority sends a devastating message to voters that the Liberal Party is hostile to women.

It's the message she wanted to send.

The narrative that the conservative side of politics has become anti-women has been bolstered by a range of female voices both on and off the record who have been agitating for change.

Until now we have heard strong words, but little action from those who have spoken out against bullying, intimidation and a broader culture problem inside the governing party. Ms Banks' move to the crossbench sends a signal that the crisis she identifies inside the Liberal Party — including the actions and ideas of the so called "reactionaries" — is so profound she is prepared to be accused of being a traitor and a political rat to deliver her point.

MPs from the right and the moderate wings are angry with Banks for robbing the party of "clear air" at a time when it needs it most. There's a strong view she should have stayed in the tent to argue for change rather than thrown a political bomb with uncertain consequences.

But equally, most are unsurprised. Last week, even before the Victorian election, there was concern in the highest levels of government that she would drop a bombshell. And she has. With precision.

And by the way, the ABC board should not be replaced by a new bum-Fyfield-appointed lot. Not before the result of the senate inquiry into the ABC-board-created management shamble, should anyone be appointed and in he meantime the board should NOT TOUCH ANYTHING. Going on holiday is okay.
