Malcolm Turnbull delays Parliament amid banking commission push [View all]

"Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has taken the unusual step of delaying Parliament for a week, a move Labor and some crossbenchers have described as an “attack on democracy”.

"Labor likened the move as befitting a dictatorship, claiming the government was seeking to avoid a vote on a banking royal commission, amid a possible rebellion from Nationals MPs over the issue while Barnaby Joyce and John Alexander are absent from Parliament.

“I think this is the sort of thing that happens in dictatorship,” Deputy Labor Leader Tanya Plibersek told Sky News."

"Labor’s chief tactician Tony Burke said: “I have never heard of an occasion where Parliament gets cancelled because the Prime Minister is throwing a tantrum.”

There are just two thoughts that seem to be occupying Turnbull's brain at this time - one is to hold on to his title of Prime Minister as long as he possibly can, and the other is to please his mates in banking, where he no doubt plans to return once he's finally kicked out of office.

He truly is the most pathetic leader this country's ever had.
