Turnbull still supporting Brough

Anthony Albanese attributed the Coalition’s boost to Turnbull being “a shiny new thing for people to look at” but maintained that the government’s numbers would decline when voters examined the substance.

He argued the prime minister was facing the same sorts of problems with his political judgment that emerged when Turnbull served as the Liberal opposition leader.

“Just like he trusted Godwin Grech last time, already, early on in his prime ministership we saw him appoint Mal Brough to the position in charge of ministerial responsibility for the integrity of the parliamentary process and yet Mal Brough is under investigation from the AFP about the Peter Slipper and James Ashby affairs and, indeed, there was a raid just this week on Mal Brough’s house,” Albanese told The Bolt Report on the Ten Network.

“Malcolm Turnbull should have been aware of that, and should have avoided that potential conflict.”
